Suggest Treatment For Dark Bruises On The Elbow
Hello I got blood taken 7 days ago, my arm has dark bruise 6 inches on either side of the elbow(where needle was inserted). My worry is that I have a hard bump that I am able to feel and even grab where the needle was inserted, extremely sore with limited function in the arm. Also the vein has yet to appear.

Hello,
Don't worry, it will go with time. Apply ice on it three times a day. Put some heparin cream and take Serra-D tablet bd for 3 days (serratiopeptidase plus Diclofenac).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
