![]() ![]() I also wanted to pass on some medical studies from medical journals that may be of some help to those who are still experiencing pain. I will be returning to the same clinic to have my TB test read but I will be bringing documents for them to pass on to their medical assistants so that in the future they will be careful during their blood draws and be taught better technique so other unsuspecting souls who pass their way are not hurt, especially permanently. And now, almost 12 hours later I still have a small-medium amount of pain. For several hours after my arm hurt at the injection site especially when straightening my arm out. This was the FIRST time I have ever felt a pain like that. A word of advice "professionals" if you don't do it that often, DON'T ATTEMPT! Anyway, as soon as she stuck me I felt a shooting pain at the injection site (my antecubital fossa area, or the area above the elbow). As a nurse, we do try our best but as a professional I think we all need to be better educated upon doing blood draws to prevent these patterns of nerve damage! I just went to get a blood draw done and the medical assistant was very good about using aseptic technique (cleaning well, using gloves etc.) although I should have known when she said I don't do this etc to the Physician Assistant. I am an RN myself and am truly sorry with the problems I've read above. I have been searching the internet because I have the same problem and symptoms.
