I had blood work done on July 1st the next day it was a little sore so I thought nothing of it. Now almost 2 weeks later I can hardly move my arm without shooting pain through my forearm from my elbow down. When she took my blood she used the vien on the top part of my arm not in the usual place they take blood. I have been told they most likely hit a nerve. Will this go away? I have tried Tylenol and Biofreeze and ice packs to no avail. Please help.
Thank-you

The top part of your arm? Where exactly? Most times they use the AC, otherwise known as the inside of your elbow.

It was right at the top corner of the AC not the inside.
