went to lab to do a simple blood draw to get a
physical..I'm 35 years old, healthy, never need a doctor.
2 days later big red blotch shows up. 5 days later whole
forearm from elbow to wrist turns black, blue, purple, &
yellow. 1 week later pain in forearm. 2 weeks later color
fades but pain persists.
It's now 2 weeks and i cannot lift anything with the
arm..when I do, I feel a pain where they drew the blood...
I have pictures. My own Doctor said its not normal, she
referred me to a vascular specialist. He did an ultrsound.
Said needle went to far and blood went into muscle.
I have a voice message from lady who drew blood
apoligizing for the bruise.
I'm in the electrical line of work, I need the strength
in my arm...I cant do anything right now...losing work!
Do I have a case, if so how much should I request??
