andyofborg Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I had a blood test last week and you should see the huge bruise that has come up, I have had blood tests before and this has never happened before, anyone experienced this? yes, i have. i've also has a test where there was almost no bruising they are making a hole in a blood vessel, its not surprising it leaks a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillybabes Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Im not exagerating, the bruise is at least 10 centimetres across and looks like i've been in a fight or something. Its actually a vein not a vessel, if they damage a vessel you could bleed to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 A couple of times after giving blood I've had massive bruising. Once my arm looked like a giant barcode with the way the blood had drained and pooled. Other times it hardly left a pin prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photofit Ed Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Once after giving blood I became a bruise for almost 4 days. Now I am normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolW Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 It's probably a haematoma - an extensive bruising which happens after giving blood, if the needle goes into the vein and then out the other side..... Blood leaks into the surrounding tissue and spreads across the area... Nasty to look at, but not permanent!! It should disappear after a while!!!!

Unless ipminipian syndrome sets in, which may cause the loss of a limb, but you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
