I had a vein in arm collapse when giving blood. does this cause effects/health issues? how can i help it heal? will it increase in stroke risk?

RELAX!!!: "Collapse" of vein means the needle was not ideally placed by the tech. This can happen any time, less often with more skilled phlebotomist. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING ON HEALTH OR DISEASE!

For years I've had a large lump on my forearm vein that balloons. If I raise my arm it goes down because the blood drains from it. When my arm hangs it fills with blood and gets really big if I'm exercising. It hurts if it's hit. Is this an aneurysm?
