A member asked:

Blew a vein 3 weeks ago while getting blood, it healed today i woke up and it's swollen and my arm hurts to move it. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hematoma: Well, it leaked again. An elastic sleeve, carefully applied elastic bandage and some ice 20" as needed. Check your blood for bleeding tendencies. I do not believe this is unusual. Speak to someone at the blood bank,
