A member asked:
When i got a blood transfusion after a couple hours of getting blood my arm started to burn. is that normal?.

Nothing of concern!: No,this is not normal.Yet it does not sound anything that should be of much concern unless it persists. Veins do get irritated when they are poked with a needle and or a catheter but it should settle down itself withing a matter of hours.
