A member asked:

The nurse poked me with the needle my whole arm felt as if there were needles poking me down my whole arm & burned now i have shrap pains in my veins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arm pain : The nerve , artery and Vein are in very close proximity to each other in the arm . When the nurse picked you to get blood from your vein , there was no way to avoid touching the nerve . The pain should subside in a very short time . Apply some ice to the area . Take some Tylenol (acetaminophen) and the pain will pass .
