I Punctured A Vein On Friday Night With Dead Mesquite

I punctured a vein on Friday night with dead mesquite thorn, it swelled for a second and hurt for a couple of days. The area around the puncture (2" on each side) is bruised now. It is still a little tender to the touch. the puncture area is still a red knot. I'm not that concerned but my girlfriend wants me to go to a Doctor. Is this necessary?
