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.
