A member asked:

I had blood drawn. the lady drew from a deep vein in my elbow crease. is that normal? is there any risk of damage or clots? worry wort

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: the antecubital vein (in the fold of the elbow) is the most common place to have blood drawn. Put pressure on it for a few minutes afterwards and no problems should occur. Good luck with your anxiety!
