A member asked:
I'm in pain in my forearms a week after my angiogram. they tried for 20 mins to use my right arm, then had to go left. my arteries weren't easy to access. my left arm is now the worst. they're bruised, but the worst thing is the pain from the entry site.

Angiogram: When trying to access an artery the nerve plexus can be irritated by trauma or collection of blood around the nerve. This generally resolves with time. Significant bruising should be re-evaluated by your physician
