Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i was donating plasma 9 days ago, there was slight pain during the donation. The nurse had to probe the vein to get to it. Ever since then there has been a sharp/burning pain starting at my elbow at the point of puncture, and radiating down my arm. It s very painful, and I can t straighten my car without sharp shooting pain. Now I m starting to feel little bumps along my arm. There is no swelling, redness, or discoloration. But it feels like a huge bruise, even when there isn t a stretch on the arm.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can apply Thrombophob ointments to the site of needle prick. It will provide symptomatic relief. You can also take analgesics like Ibuprofen and Diclofenac for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
