Hi again. All good with the cycle . The pain is
infinitely less from the first two days. The only issue at the moment is the
strong bruising. I wonder if I can do anything either to stop that happening
or to make it disappear quicker. If anyone had a similar problem any advice
would be much appreciated.
As soon as you withdraw the needle, regardless whether or not you nicked
a vein - put pressure on the site immediately for a minute or 2. This will stop,
or at the very least minimise the bleeding under the skin which eventually
becomes a bruise.
