Arm Numb After Blood Draw. Posted by idiotfactory at 405 PM on August 22 2007. Getting blood drawn.
Pain at the site of needle insertion is the most common side effect of venipuncture. The sensation should go away after several day maybe a week. When the blood draw started I felt a immediate shock on my left arm.
It can be very complex and it does center around pain which can be chronic and extreme in some cases leading patients to be debilitated after what may have been a minor injury or procedure.
The tingling is unrelated to the blood drawing. Persistent pain in the arm. The question is kind of vague. The sensation should go away after several day maybe a week.
