A member asked:
I had some bloodwork done to check for cholesterol and thyroid today and now my arm is all sore, its not bruised or anything , not bleeding so why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is probably a: reaction to the tourniquet that was tightened on the arm. It will probably resolve in a day or so. Try taking a simple analgesic like tylenol (acetaminophen) if it is bothering you a lot.
