Blood draw causing pain weeks later

Irene

I had my blood drawn for the AFP test on 12/27. The phlebotomist wasn’t the regular one at my OB, she was on loan from the hospital I’ll be delivering at. She was a little rough but it is what it is I guess. Ended up with a pretty nasty bruise.

But now almost 3 weeks later I’m still having major soreness. Like holding my 2 year old on my left side is an issue because it hurts so bad, starts to cramp up etc. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and have been making sure I stay hydrated.

Anyone else ever experienced this? I have an appointment next week and don’t think it’s necessarily worth going in for a separate appointment but it’s really starting bother me more and more.
