What Is The Cause For Burning Wrist Pain After Needle Insertion Into Vein For Blood Donation?
I gave blood a couple of days ago. When they were inserting the needle in to my arm there was a very sharp pain in my wrist area. They were having a hard time finding the vein and I experienced this pain a few more times while they were wiggling the needle around. The pain was very intense. I still have this sharp burning pain in my wrist when I move it sometimes. What could it be caused from.

If there is no associated swelling t site of puncture , then there is no cause for concern.
