Hey yall. I had my blood drawn 2 days ago and I did see it bruise originally where it was poked but today I noticed the bruising moved up higher in a straight line. I also noticed my forearm is sore. I can pin point the area and when I massage it it hurts. The pain shoots from the area to my wrist. I did a big mistake of lifting weights the day I got my blood taken so maybe the forearm pain is from that, but I'm worried! Nothing unusual in particular happened when she drew my blood... I have a very nice vein which I've always had blood drawn from. Is this normal!? My fear is that it's some kind of infection and it's spreading or something worse... aaah!

Those things can take a few days to clear up.

I had a blood test recently and this happened to me. Sometimes you bruise, sometimes you don't, but whether you do or not it will ache. Think about it, somebody stuck a needle into your artery and drew blood! You'll be fine.
