Hello,

I had blood taken two days ago in the crease of my arm. When the nurse inserted the needle, an electric pain jolted through my arm into my left thumb, and continued to persist until she removed the needle. For the rest of the day the site of the insertion ached, and was slightly swollen.

Today the pain in my arm went down, as well as the swelling, but I notice that when I fully extend my arm, the site of the insertion aches and if I move it just right I have the same electric pain from yesterday.


I thought that I would also mention that I have suffered from a herniated spinal disc in my lower back in case there are any connections with that and RSD.

Do I have anything to worry about?
