After Having The Blood Work Done Noticed Tenderness & Swelling Around The Wrist & Hand
I just had some blood work done, thye took 3 viles about 2 hours ago. Aside from normal tenderness and slight bruising in the crook of my elbow at the injection site, I notice swelling around my wrist and hand. My fingers are puffy and showing white around the knuckles. Should I be concerned. I've done bloodwork before and never had anthing similar
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may develop hematoa formation. It happens many times at the site of injection due to extravasation of blood. Don't worry about that. Just be relaxed. Just apply ice on it. It will gi away within few days. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
