A member asked:
Would it be unusual or concerning for my arm to hurt after a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes for one day: It is uncommon but the skin area can be sore for one day. If you notice any redness or swelling then seek medical attention, just to be sure that there is no infection around the needle stick- site.
