These pictures are real, and I'm sure sometime in your life time you also may of had a nasty bruise after a blood test!
"I certainly have"
There are many reasons why, you will get a bruise after having a blood test, to be completed honest with you, a small bruise about the size of a pee or smaller will probably appear on your forearm, as your skin, (young or older) has been inserted by a smaller needle, which is then inserted into your vein to obtain your blood, there could also be a number of other factors, why a bruise (Hematoma ) appears, such as:-
Having a poorly trained person carrying out your Blood Test
The procedure being Rushed
Not locating the vein correctly
Going through the vein & hitting a Nerve - oouch!!
Moving the needle about whilst it's still in your arm
Not applying pressure on the site after the procedure is completed.
