How To Relieve Pain And Bruising After Blood Test?
I had my blood drawn 5 days ago. I immediately had intense pain, swelling, and bruising. I have a large greenish bruise and woke up today with a reddish bruising near my elbow. My arm is very sore and the pain wakes me at night. Also, I had a large lump right after having it done but that went away by the next day.

Bruising & pain after venesection will disappear on its own in 1-2 days. There is nothing to worry about. You can massage the affected area lightly with any oil.
Hope it helps.
