    It sounds like whoever drew blood from you may have touched a nerve in your arm. If your arm is swollen with this, I would go to the emergency room. If you still have the pain this severely in a couple hours, I would go to the emergency room anyway.

    Did your arm start to hurt before or after they took the blood samples? You could have done something as simple as slept on it wrong, or you may have injured it, have a blood clot, etc. I’d recommend going to Urgent Care and having them do a full exam, especially if your pain is that bad & you can’t lift your arm. Good luck.

    Go to the emergency room if this last very long. I am not a DR. but that sounds bad Don’t wait too long. At least call the ER and tell them whats happening.
