Suggest Remedy For Lump Near The Arm Injection Site
I had a blood draw at 9 am. About 20 min later on my way to work I started to feel a little bit queasy. I pulled e car over and looked at me arm. At the sight of injection there was a marble like lump near injection site. It has been painful all day but had not changed in size and still not much change. Is this normal, because I have never had anything like this

from the history it appears to be a hemotoma to me.. Hematoma means collection of blood...Iam not sure how long you gave compression at the injection site after they drew blood..But nothing to worry....Hematoma usually gets absorbed in 3 to 4 days..If its painful u can keep a cloth soaked in hot water on the lump..it gives a better pain relief..i hope i have answered your queries..have a good day..
