I have never had a huge bruise like this from getting my blood taken and there is still a bit of pain today. it’s been over a week, and i’m kind of concerned with how it’s looking still after this amount of time. the fact that the bruise is very far from the sight where the blood was taken is making me feel a little strange about it too.

after she took the needle out it, she didn’t put pressure on it long enough, so it created a lump under my skin that lasted about 2 days and was pretty painful.

i’m assuming it will heal on its own, but should i be mentioning this to a doctor since this is not too normal for me? it was pretty painful when she put the needle in and took it out which i can usually handle.
