Pain after blood test

Question

I had a blood test done yesterday as part of my annual check up and my arm still hurts from it, theres even some bruising

does this happen to anyone else?

whats the cause of the pain? I don't remember it always happening

Answer 1

they might have busted your vain i know it hurts try some ice to help the swelling go down next time you go ask for a different nurse.

Answer 2

its happend to me. they blew one of my veins. it hurt for about 5 days then it stopped.

Answer 3

well,they could have been a little rough,but also too your meant to use the arm less for a short while after because that can lead to bruising,but as for the pain....havnt heard much of that before,if its that bad see a doctor,good luck.

Answer 4

Did you start using your arm too soon? I am always told not to lift anything heavy for at least a couple of hours. I find if  I do my arm bruises and gets sore for a few days. :)
