Had a blood test today on the inside of my arm/elbow. It was as sore as expected but not awful and the nurse got the needle in on the first attempt and it was all straight forward. It didn’t hurt or ache after it and i didn’t let my arm stiffen, I just used it as normal. But over the last hour or so it’s started to hurt so much where I had the blood test. It’s actually throbbing and pulsing with pain. I haven’t bumped it or injured it- I’ve used the arm as normal but I’ve been careful to not knock or hurt it. The pain started out of nowhere and is actually making me feel slightly sick with it, it’s throbbing so much.
anyone have any advice? I’ve had lots of blood tests before and never had this so slightly confused and not sure if there’s anything that would help or I just need to toughen up and ride it out!
