Pain In Arm, Tingling Sensation In Thumb After Donating Blood
I donated my blood yesterday morning. Towards the end of the donation, the person kept pulling my skin. She said it was to let my blood flow faster. After one hour after the donation, my arm had this sharp pain whenever i tried to straightened it bend it at this angle. However, the pain is still here and I do feel a tingling sensation near my thumb when i try to straighten my arm

Hi, thank you for posting.
I congratulate you for your human gesture. You problem is related with puncture that is accompanied with pain that last for few days. To avoid this you should take
acetaminophen and you should put some ice in the puncture. If the spot will be swelled then you can think for an infection and you should contact your medic.
Take Care.
