the lady stuck a plaster on it and off i went.Got to the main doors of the hospital and someone shouted over to me that there was blood everywhere.When i looked at my arm there was blood everywhere.Went back and got cleaned up and got padded out and i was asked if i was on any medication,which i am not.Has anyone had this before or who knows what causes it.It made me feel sick.

Grannie,it happens to lots of people.Sometimes not long enough pressing on needle sight.Also it happenedto me a couple of times when the weather was hot.

I had it after a biopsy, they told me not to look but it took a while to stop.I take aspirin on prescription and that thins the blood.

no as my veins think i need all the blood i got,
they disappear deep into my arm soon as a needle goes near um

maybe it cos you had arm down at side and blood flowed out
it stops if you hold arm up as flows away doesnt it
