Got blood taken 5 days ago and area still is sore like its bruised but no black n blue marks or anything when i bend arm it hurts is that normal?

This is possible.: Sometimes one can have pain for several days following a routine blood draw. Really hard to say exactly what causes this, but it is not generally related to bad technique on the part of the technician.
