My arm hurtz! advice?



Basically trying to decide if I need to go to get this looked at or just let it pass. I gave blood recently(I have given regularly since I was 17) and got a n00b. He wasnt that bad, but he did have some trouble getting me draining. That in itself is fairly pathetic as I have good veins that are very visible. Anyway a few days later I looked and noticed that a bruise developed. It extends towards the wrist, is about 2 inches wide and 4 inches long, and near the end a small offshoot follows the vein for another inch and a half. It basically looks like a normal bruise, but it does get sore. Dunno if this is somthing i need to have checked or not. I remember the MD/MD in training thread the other day and thought i would put my feelers out.
 


<< anyone have any info on this? I guess all the legitimate people are asleep -its 3 am >>

The person ruptured your vein. The bruise should start to go away within 2 weeks. Give it 3 just to be safe. If it's not starting to go away by then, see a doctor.
 
Only these illigitimate bafoons are awake. I don't like the sound of it. Doesn't seem right to me. But then again I'm illigitimate too.
 
honestly, nobody here is fit to give you good advice. you should just see a doctor. we are nothing more then computer geeks.
