How much does donating plasma hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just a needle poke: Same as with whole blood donation, big pinch with needle insertion, then on draw, don't notice much at all. On return, arm will feel cool as your plasma, platelets and some saline are returned to you. Usually cycles back and forth 2 or 3 times and you are done.
