Inflammation: After a venipuncture, one can have a small hematoma/collection of blood. It may be deep and not quite look like a bruise. Blood can cause an inflammatory response and movement can irritate that area. At this early phase, one might ice the area 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off for 72 hours. Anti inflammatories may help. If there are symptoms, i.e. neurological changes to the hand, then see a doctor

Yes: It can be normal, try icing it for 15 minutes at a time
