For years i've had doctors stick me in the same vein on my left arm i it possible that this could be dangerous

Not likely: As this is routine for blood draws to be repetitively done in the same vein. It can lead to narrowing of the vein and even blood clots but these are very uncommon occurrences and can happen with even one "stick" to a blood vessel.
