I gave blood 5 days ago and when the nurse inserted the needle it hit a nerve (nearly jumped off the bed!) and since then I've had pins and needles type pain shooting down the arm to my hand every time I stretch or twist it, my wrist also feels very weak when I try to lift with it.

was wondering if this had happened to anyone else and how long until the pins and needles thing went away?
