i donated blood two days ago, and the tech/med assistant (positively) hit a nerve. the bag was filling up fine but by almost the end, she said that the it was running a little bit slow and decided to move the needle to somehow facilitate faster blood flow. as she moved the needle, i felt electricity running down my arm to my fingers,i said it hurt then she let go (with the needle still attached). she asked me if the pain is gone, i said somehow just dont touch it and just let the bag finish up. as soon as the bag got filled up, i guess, she was scared so another tech took her place removing the needle and bandaging me. anyway, i went home (sore with intermittent jolt depending on my arm positioning) but i ignored it. i just thought that it's no big deal and that it'll go away. the blood draw was done on my right arm, too, which makes it worse since now i can't even lift a spoon to eat with my right arm. well, it's been two days and the pain seemed to have increased. im sorry to sound a little too concerned being that it has only been almost 3 days and that i've read a number of posts here of people suffering for years. but i am really worried. i have no insurance at the moment. am still in school studying to be a nurse. i am afraid that this might be of a bigger problem to me later on. are there ways to help alleviate the pain? will movements on the affected right arm cause further damage (i am right handed)? any help is greatly appreciated...(especially cause just typing this took me about 20 minutes with my left hand)
