How can i numb my arm with ice pack before getting blood test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Local anesthetic gel: Ice pack is not a good idea as it will reduce blood flow make drawing blood more difficult. You should consult your doctor about using Lidocaine gel to numb the skin before needle stick.
