Injections going wrong.?


what does this mean, this has happened a couple of times now? after taking bloods, my arm at the needle site swells up to the size of (no joke) a grape. is the the fault of the nurses or doctors. does this mean my veins weak? and when this old leaked blood a danger of traveling as clots to my brain or heart or something? i dont like injections the best of times but this certainly freaks me out quite a bit.

the reason my writing is so bad is because iam tired, and didnt proof read before submitting this question. clots to the brain is not something to be wished on anyone. i have had a lattice of blood clots to the lungs a few years a go. which is why iam a little nervous about the issue. and iam aware also iam lazy about using the shift key.

This is bruising - usually caused by not applying pressure correctly after the blood has been taken. Once the needle is removed, apply pressure directly over the puncture site - DO NOT BEND YOUR ARM - for about 1 min. Unless you are on drugs to thin the blood this should be enough.

As for concerns about clots travelling to your brain...the swelling is caused by blood leaking out of the vessel, so the clot is not inside the vein. The blood will be reabsorbed into your body over 7-14 days, and as this happens you will see the bruise change colour and eventually fade.

Bruising/swelling is a common problem with having blood taken, don't worry about it.

Poor practitioners. No clots will travel to your brain, but of course in your case they should. It means that the needle has puncture through the vein causing leakage of blood causing swelling (hematoma) and bruising. Doctors don't draw blood in the US.Have a great day. Educate yourself or you may become victimized.

No clots will travel to your brain or heart. I do not think that whomever is taking your blood is not doing a good job. I am 52 years old and have had this happen only once. I was ill for quite a while and had blood taken often. If they do a good job, this should not happen.

This could be occurring do to blood seeping into the skin. After each blood draw hold area firm for a few minutes. The trauma to the vein could also be causing the vein to do some swelling as well.

Take a good multiple vitamin-mineral daily
also take 1-3 grams of vitamin C with bioflavinoids to strengthen your veins and connective tissue.
Grape seed extract 100 mg a day will help your veins too>
Good luck.

Do not get vaccinated. There is no scientific proof that the theory of vaccination is valid, yet there is considerable proof that Vaccines cause illness and death.

Just sit back and think about it for a while. Does it feel like sense to inject a disease directly into your bloodstream?
The way to avoid disease is to strengthen the immune system. Vaccination weakens it.
