Mine went similar to that, not around the back of my arm like yours but the whole area where she took blood was so badly bruised an a lil around the side, it was pretty painful that night. My midwife said when she saw the bruise that they had taken the blood from an artery and not a vein..... I dunno if she was right or wrong but either way it was uncomfortable for a day or two xx
I normally ask for a butterfly needle in my hand. I've got rubbery shy veins so they end up stabbing me half to death each time I get bloods. I've had mild bruising from them but nothing this bad! Show them this picture next time your due for a blood check and they'll probably take a bit more care! X
That is from internal bleeding. Someone messed up. If its not getting any bigger it will disperse the same as any other bruise. Gonna hurt for a while though.
