A member asked:

My arm is extremely sore after blood drawn and a bit swollen. should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thromboplebitis.: This is most likely due to irritation of veins.Suggest using extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) 1-2 tabs every day for 2 to 3 days.This kind of irritation gets better in 2-3 days.See you M.D. If your symptoms persist.
