I'm an 18-year-old healthy female, and I recently donated 450mL of my blood. Right after the donation, I stood up from the chair and felt this hot throbbing sensation in my neck and shoulders. Then the pain kind of spread down to my mid and lower back. My back has been seriously hurting since the donation, which was a little over a week ago. Should I consult a doctor?
