I had a blood sample taken Tuesday for my TA records and stuff.
Didnt hurt at the time, needles have never bothered me, but yesterday it felt a little sore and today it looks really bad.
I have a massive bruise looking thing about 7 inchs long plus big purple/red marks in the bruise.
This didnt happen last time someone took blood and Im guessing it will just slowly fade away but has anyone had this happen to them or is there any advice?

Broken blood vessel.

It depends on who takes the blood sample, some are good at it, some are not.

Aye - Andy.

Ditto what Andy said. The quack at Duke of York's HQ bent the needle in my arm in '81. My arm was black and blue for days.

Give it ten days and you will be as good as new. The vien just leaked a bit under your skin, who is a little bleeder then.

maybe next time go to an army nurse or they are a better shot

Cheers.

warm compress, you got a hematoma.

Beat me to it White man.
I give blood on a regular basis and sometimes I get a real butcher of a nurse who couldn't find a vein if it leapt out of my arm and said"Boo".I guess their mostly students so they've got to get some practice.
Wholley.

I was just wondering you know? I mean they say the law states marriage is between a man and a woman, so will the sicko's from the otherside of the cage twist that into "Well it says man and woman, doesn't say species." I mean how far down must we further be forced to go by the few?
Wholley they just re-banned guns, and the Republicans went along. I can't understand this. Crime in DC where guns are banned period is the highest in the nation. Looking at the last 12-13 years it looks like the whacko's were right, they want our freedom. Gun bans, political correctness, the dissolution of states rights, the states active assault on God and the Patriot Act(Benedict Arnold Act!). Oh well atleast the Haitian's rebelled against the Black thugs decision to install a Voodoo priest communist in that country. Old Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackoff and the rest of those black hooligans who call themselves the "Black Cauccas" are eating crow today. 10 years ago we troops knew that Clinton approved move was going to backfire.
Yeah maybe we do need to outsource government and hire one that represents our desires and goals.
I wonder if the tree huggers will demand to marry plants? Oh hey fish, there's one for the minority of the minority of the wierdo's.
