hi there

i had a blood test taken a few days ago ( wednesday ) , i think the nurse might have botched it as my arm all swelled up within ten mins after the needle was inserted, it was sore to the touch for around 12 hours afterwards and while the swelling went down within a day , thier is a red - purplish spot close to the administration spot , it looks as if blood leaked in under the skin , my arm around this point is also yellow in colour , thier is no pain anymore however , apart from blood poisioning , i cant imagne what consequences thier could be but i feel absolutley fine
