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 .
