What Causes Severe Pain In The Arm And Dizziness And Plasma Donation Procedure?
Hi, I had a really bad plasma donation today. They had to push the needle in more and wiggle it around a bit. The lower and upper arm began to hurt. Theyou couldn t give me mya student return because the blood began to clot while the needle was in my arm. They gave me gatorade and I left. 30 minutes later I got extremely dizzy and blacked out. 10 hours later, I m very bruised and the puncture place is still bleeding and very bruised. Is this normal and what shoukd i do?
Your nerve is punctured badly i think. go to a good doctor and get your bandage done. Doctor might prescribe you some painkiller or Antibiotics. Go for it. nothing to worry about. its treatable. The bruise is due the internal bleeding held during your donation programme. it will go in somedays.
