Question I should know the answer to this, but....

I should know the answer to this, but....

I had to have blood drawn and also get a tetanus shot today....

My right arm is now swollen...bright red and ice cold....

My question.... Could these have caused a flair up???

If so...does anyone know of any way to get it to calm down?????

Dear Abbie,

Do you recall if they went thru the vein when drawing your blood? Hugs, Roz

I don't remember them going through a vein.... all I know was it turned bright red immediately where they drew blood and ice cold too....

Abbie,

Do you remeber if the blood went into the tube right away? Also did they wiggle the needle at all?

Hugs, Roz

anytime you have blood taken have them use butterfly. it's smaller and less invasive/damaging to rsd sites
