A member asked:
Aching arm after blood test. no issues when giving blood or blood disorders. is it something horrible like a blood clot? do i need to see dr again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is it swollen,red: or firm? If a superficial vessel gets a clot from a blood draw it will not travel to heart lung or brain. May have a mild thrombophlebitis . Use warm compresses and try advil (ibuprofen) or alieve. If red warm to touch or getting worse see a doctor to make sure it is not infected.
