A member asked:
I had a blood draw around 1 pm. immediately after it was swollen but it's gone down some. it hurts pretty badly tho. is this normal? what should i do?

Hematoma: Blood draws can often be painful, locally at the site of course. Applying pressure to the area, sometimes an ice pack, and even taking Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help, and often time itself will alleviate the pain. If it persists, then see the doctor to be safe. best wishes.
