What can i do for this pain in my forearm after blood donation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat, ibuprofen: You likely have a phlebitis (inflamed vein) in your arm. You can use Ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory meds. Applying heat can help too. This should resolve over the course of a week or so.
