When she took the blood is was slightly more painful than usual but not too bad. The next day a bruise came up and i couldn't stretch it. Now a week later, the bruise is no longer sore but my arm aches as though i have been lying on it, from my elbow right down to my fingertips. It still hurts if i stretch but not a pain, just this dull ache.
Answer:
i had a similar reaction to a canula insertion in my arm. i went to the docs about it and he gave me some cream for phlebitis, which is bruising in the vein. it went after a coulpe of days. i suggest going to the doc.
Poor you.maybe the nurse ought ot have practised on an orange first instead of you! You won't get an answer if you were to ask anyway. Try arnica creme that will take the soreness away and bring out the bruising. Can be bought at any good chemist on the high street.
I would say pop into the doctors get the doctor or nurse to check it over! The first time i ever went to donate blood my arm was like this!
Go to the doctor if you're really worried. But i'd say just give it another couple of days. I know when i had a blood test done once, it hurt for around 2 weeks!
thats what happens when the needle hits a nerve.
it will get better in time
