Had Blood Drawn, No Bruise Or Bleeding, Extreme Pain In The Area. What Could Be Wrong?
i had my blood drawn yesterday. (3 tubes) previous to that I had 5tubes taken about a week ago. After having my blood taken yesterday, my harm has been sore and hurts to move. A pain where my blood was drawn (about the elbow) . I also have had swelling in the same area after my blood was drawn. I hoped it would go down overnight, but it didn t. I do not see any bruising indicating bleeding, however I do see a little red line on the surface like a bump from point of contact down my forearm about a little over an inch long. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hi,
From history it appears that you might be having thrombophlebitis giving rise this problem.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines course.
Apply Thrombophob cream locally.
Ok and take care.
