bruising after blood test / iv insertion09/26/2009 |
I recently had colonoscpy/endoscopy,and tech had difficult time finding vein in my hand for iv - pain and bruise lasted approx 1 1/2 weeks. yesterday had routine blood test and was grateful tech immediately found vein, but small bruise immediately, and today is the size of a baseball, and extending slightly up and down arm and around to elbow and very sore from wrist to shoulder. Should I be concerned ?
