Please Help!
Hello, my name is Michelle. I am desperately seeking answers. I am taking Phlebotomy. This past Tuesday, 5 days ago. I was in class. A classmate drew my blood, when she did it sent a pain down my arm and a shook in my hand. My teacher said she hit a nerve to not worry about it that it'd be okay.
Now, I have pain throughout my arm. when I stretch my arm out I have tingling in my ring finger and my pinky finger.
I went to the dr. and they gave me a steroid shot. I do not feel any different. That was 3 days ago.
My concern is whether it is ever going to be better again. Will this heal? I have read so many incidents on the internet of people who this has happened to and they never got better or they had to undergo surgery. I also read that this rarely happens. I am sorry to bother you but it is troubling me. Does it cause more damage by using my arm?
Please please give me any answers you can.
Thank you,
Michelle
Answers:
It may just get better but being seen by your Dr would be the best. He will know. Good Luck.
