Blood draw leaves egg size lump...hematoma!!

[Guest guest]

Please help!!

Oct 29 blood was drawn. I have a lump the size of a small egg where

the 6 vials of blood were drawn. The vein also has a small lump on

it. The arm has a mark from the tournaquit. (sp)

A friend ...surgical nurse...looked at my arm today. Says it looks

like a hematoma in the deep tissue. No black and blue evident.

Probably poked thru the vein. (I told the tech my veins are always

missed. Lab techs go too deep. She said the vein rolls.)

How concerned should I be? Does this happen often? Could the lab

tech have prevented this? What danger is this to my Graves'

Disease..PTU protocol...or my health? Should I have a CBC?

Bloodclot danger? Will it heal without further medical " help " .

That must have been a lot of blood to make such a large lump!!!

I am still ever hopeful,
