Depends: If done recently , you may have a phlebitis or irritation of the vein. Usually tylenol (acetaminophen) and local warm compresses will improve this. Keep an eye on it, as there is always a risk of infection w/needle pokes, or it could be bruising. If not improving in about 3 days, see your dr.
