I had routine blood test this morning and the Dr that did it always leaves me with a big bruise - I have to have blood taken from vein that runs on inner arm from elbow to wrist ( take too long to explain why). He told me to press as hard as I could afterwards and this really hurt but did as he said.
By time I got home and took my coat off I had a big bruise about one half inches in diameter and a big hard lump under the bruise. My arm really hurts if I touch the bruise/lump and when I use my arm my hand aches.
I have had big bruise and bit of a lump before with him but never as bad as this - would the lump be from me pressing so hard on this soft part of my arm??? Or is it hard lump full of leaked blood:wacko:
The lump hasn't got any bigger but I know the bruise will get huge over next week hopefully as the lump goes down. My husband says you get lump with a bruise and he isn't worried and I don't want to ring the Drs because Dr although lovely will def be thinking only I could worry about this but wondered if anyone else had had this after a blood test and should I be worried and ringning the surgery???
