A member asked:
I had a blood test 2 weeks ago, they had huge issues getting any blood so they had to change needles but they used the same vein. i noticed since then i have a lump in the same spot and it's painful ?

Trauma : It's okay to use the same vein. However, they traumatized the vein causing a small clot to form. You can use warm compresses and watch for signs of redness. If you are able to take Aspirin that will also help. Unfortunately, this is a complication of phebotomy. Hope this helps.
