Well I have always been good with having blood taken, but on Wednesday the nurse at hospital was so busy that he hurt me and now have a lump, I phoned and they said it would go away. Its annoying as all thoughts going through head.

Anyone else had this kind of thing happen. I am on Clexane and Warfarin

G'day Daisy, I have recently had the same issue. I have veinous draws every two weeks . Following a blood pressure test a few days later caused the vein to blow leaving a large lump about the size of 3 peas side by side.

It took a month to clear up.

A dopper indicated the clot but it was localised and not causing problems.

Hi hon

This sounds like it is due to a clumsy rushed nurse, should settle in week or so!! I had this too, made sure to tell nurse off next time I came across her!!

We don't need any more bumps and bruises, sure you like me can make plenty ourselves!!

Take care gentle hugs love Sheena xxxxx :-) :-) :-)

Hi yes same thing happened with me. The only problem is that when I had a blood test on Tuesday the vein was difficult to get blood from, and it hurt! The nurse said that I probably have some scarring and to use my other arm from now on. I do try to alternate arms usually, but had the right arm done 3 times in a row because i am left handed and had to go off to do a physical job.

Take care all.

My phlebotomist and I agree that all my draws shall be on my right arm -- we are "saving" my left for old(er) age. I don't get those bumps very often, but I do get them (to my phlebotomist's great embaressment!) Keep an eye on it and see a doc if it gets worse. Good luck.
