Hi Andrew, I Had A Blood Test Done Last Tuesday
Hi Andrew,
I had a blood test done last Tuesday and afterwards it was extremely painful. I understand this is normal sometimes but that night I was unable to sleep and the next morning when I woke, my arm was extremely swollen - I couldn't extend my arm out, at all. It's now been six days since the test and I haven't been able to sleep or work since. Through the course of the week my arm swelled up quite large and became quite bruised. At the moment the swelling has subsided and there's only slight bruising but the pain is as bad. What do you thinks happened?
