Post pain after blood donation or phleboyomy

Bruising is nearly identical to how mine looked.. hows it feeling? Is the soreness/tightness relieving at all?
Yea it's not sore anymore mostly just the first night. Interesting how it bruised though all the way around the elbow I've never seen that before
 
When I donate blood they are pro's as I've never had a problem, and I donate multiple times a year

Now I remember one time when a nurse took a blood sample from me to run some baseline tests she pinned me in the same spot as a blood donation but the pain was shocking, the angle of needle insertion felt all wrong compared to when I donate, and my arm hurt after for a while and had a bruise.

I'd say this definitely comes down to the experience of the person on the other end of the needle.
 
Damn @Jerbear where was the needle? In that lump above the bruise right in the crook of your elbow? The last time I donated I had my worst one ever, 2-3 bad ones ever, but it wasn't even a 1/4 as bad as yours

Nevermind the question I saw the first pics now
