A member asked:

Had a picc line in arm six months ago for blood test bruised really bad do i need to worry that this has caused a blood clot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thrombus: There probably is a small clot and the risk will depend on the location. The closer it's to heart the higher the risk
