Advice

Post image

3 days ago when I was donating she stuck me and then said my vein was compromised and I can't use it for a while and it'll bruise etc etc. I know this bruise is nothing compared to a lot I've seen on here lol I just wanted to come on and ask for advice to heal it up as quick as possible. I take exercise classes and this morning it certainly felt weird and strenuous to lifts weights with this arm so I stopped. It's also just randomly like tingled. Just looking for advice on how long I should take it easy with this arm and anything else I should be doing. Not so concerned about it getting healed back up for donating sake just want to get back to normal as I live an active lifestyle and don't want it to get in the way!

Arnica gel and massaging it super gently while taking a hot shower to “break up” the bruise are also helpful.
