A member asked:
How long for nerve pain at blood draw site,i.e forearm,that extends to palm,little,ring fingers to resolve?7 days since the draw.signs to watch for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should resolve: quickly. If not see your doctor for evaluation. It's unlikely that a nerve was injected or pinched, but there could be swelling from the blood draw if it leaked into the tissue causing inflammation around the nerve. So, you may benefit from applying warm compress around the site, and seeing if that helps or not. Using anti-inflammatory OTC meds. If it's numb, tingling, painful, please see your Dr!
