What Causes Shoulder Pain After Blood Donation?
My daughter gave blood today, she is O+ and met the requirements, so she opted to donate double red blood cells. Now, she is complaining of pain in her right shoulder (right AC vein used for donation/transfusion). Is this pain normal after such a procedure.

Pain after puncture of anti cubital vein is quite normal.It may be felt up to the corresponding shoulder due to aseptic inflammation of the vein.
