IAs some of u know I was having sharp pains up my arm after a nasty blood test 2 weeks ago where she stabbed me in the middle of my forearm vein as she.couldnt find a nicer vein. She let it bleed for ages after while she found some.gauze to press down on it, and I got a bad bruise which followed the vein.
I was so worried and I started getting chest pains so on monday went to a+e. They did anither d dimer blood test for clots and it was negative.
Now I feel like the boy who cried wolf.
Last night my arm really, really was hurting. Then as I was tidying up, my little girl hurt herself in the other room so I ran in. On the way in to her, I bashed the same.arm just above my elbow off the door handle really hard. I didnt thibk much of it.
Well I barely slept last night. My arm was feeling sore and bruised all over it, and what was worse was the extreme pins and needles in my little finger and ring finger and hand. I couldnt get rid of it for hours. This morning its bruised a bit above where I hit it(above elbow) and ive measured both arms and the right one is about half an inch bigger.
I dont know what to do. I will try and see my gp today but know he cant do anything teating wise, and if I go to a+e again they will be horrible (they said I need to control my HA and better judge when to go there last time which is upsetting but true).
I know something is wrong. Am so scared.
