Arm numb after having some blood taken.. - GoFuckYourself.com

Myst · 10-04-2004, 11:19 PM

So im at the hospital, there for my yearly checkup to make sure everythings healthy and well.

they decide to take a couple tubes of blood, as soon as the needle goes in, i feel like a shock of pain thru my arm, it slowly goes away so i think nothing major of it.

but its been 4 days since then and the area near my wrist is kinda numb.. (blood was taken from middle of my arm)

it hurts like hell to stretch my arm outward.. as it feels like a vein has been shortened or something and as i stretch it im stretching the vein, and i feel the same shock of pain as i did when the needle first went in, from the middle of my arm to the wrist.

any idea what this could be?

give it some time, you'll be ok
