What Causes Soreness Of The Arm?

I gave blood 6 days ago and have never had any systems but slight brusing before. This time everything went well expect when I was giving the person had to pull the needle out some for the blood to flow better was done in 10 minutes as the norm. Anyway I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore arm above the donation sight and when I press in that area it is very sore and my elbow is also sore. The place of the donation did not bruise, but is now yellowish around the site after 6 days.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a side effect of the injection.

I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.

I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
