Suggest Treatment For Pain At The Injection Site
I was donating power red today when at the time for the return of my plasma, I experienced a sharp pain at the needle site. The technician told me to stop squeezing the ball and took the blood pressure cuff off. He also stopped the donation stating he didn t want to torture me. What could have happened? Is it possible that my shoulder injury (a possible labrum tear) could have had anything to do with my difficulties today.
