Arm Bruise After Drawing Blood. It will fade away in a few leeks like any bruise. Unfortunatelywith SJS RA Lupus etc.
Patients that experience the following symptoms 36 hours after their initial blood draw should seek medical attention right away. I have a very large bruise after a blood draw today--age is 64 height 511 about 205 lbsAlso arm is sore and there is swelling--bruise is red and purple--some redness around the bruise. A bruise usually appears because small blood vessels are accidentally damaged as.
Dark purple and with a green edge around the bruise.
It sounds like the phlebotomistnurse nicked an artery while doing the blood draw. Numbness or tingling in arms and hands. My worry is that after a week of getting the blood test the bruisung is still visible on my arm. Pain and soreness hard lump after drawing blood.
