Hi, I'm 22 years old 6 feet tall & 170 lbs weigh. I had my blood drawn on Thursday, and as soon as the needle pierced me I felt a pain along the distal 2/3 of my radius. The phlebotomist said it's because my upper arm muscles were too tense. Well the pain subsides within 5 minutes but each day since it's gotten more frequent. Please advise.

The pain can be due to nerve damage due to piercing of needle------- the duration of recovery from your condition would ultimately depend on how severe the nerve damage is. Ideally, it is always best to have it looked at by a competent neurologist as early as possible as a physical examination is surely required-----------till then start taking following homoeopathic medicine----------------hypericum 1x tabs (wilmar schwabe india) chew 2 tabs 3 times daily for 15 days-------------
