What Causes Soreness And Tingling Sensation In The Forearm?
I had blood drawn for a test on June 5th and the process was not painful at all. Slight bruise the next morning, but still no discomfort. On June 10th I noticed discomfort in my forearm not far from where the blood was drawn. On June 11th there was more discomfort like sharp tingling pain, slight swelling, and soreness when even lightly touching my forearm. The sharp tingling pain and soreness to lightly touch (barely touch) has spread to my wrist. Is this just soreness from the blood draw a week ago?
