I'm worried about these blood clots in both my arms after the doctor had to prick them for a blood test. It's been pretty tough to find a vein, and now the arm that got pricked several times is bruised, tender, and moving it is painful. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything I should do to help it heal or ease the pain?
To help with the blood clot and bruising, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the bruised area can help with swelling. To promote healing and reduce tenderness, you can also apply a warm compress to the area. If the pain and bruising persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor.

So I'm trying to wrap my head around some recent blood test results and I'm a bit puzzled. My PDW and PLCR numbers seem pretty high, even though my platelet count is normal. The PDW is 19.2, PLCR is 52.5, and my platelet count is 210,000. Just as a reference, my platelet count was 255,000 back in August 2016. Should I be worried about the PDW and PLCR values? What could this mean for my overall health?
These values suggest that there may be some changes in the size and distribution of platelets in your blood. It could be due to various reasons such as inflammation, infection, or certain medical conditions. I would recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
