Last night while at the emergency department with a bad asthma attack I had to have a blood gas test. I've had it done before , they use a long fine needle to take blood from the artery in your wrist near your pulse point, n although sore it was never unbearable. last night the dr tried 3 times n each time i was sobbing from the pain ! today my left wrist is badly bruised, swollen and painful to move. have i just been lucky in the past that it wasnt painful or did the dr just balls it up last night?
