hi, i had a blood test the other day and the nurse pulled the needle out harsh, i had pain in my whole arm for a while very bad and my arm is bruised and has a cut where the needle was. Ive been getting random bad wrist pains since and when they appear the vein in my wrist goes huge then the pain stops and the vein goes back down. This comes and goes and Im unsure of what it is or if it is something that could be potentially dangerous?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve, although not typical. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and a nerve conduction study. Some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) for inflammation or infection are needed. If these tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
