No they are not very painful. Depends upon how the phlebotomist is administering it to you.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

I have had full body pain for the last six months and now it continues throughout the day especially in the heel and bottom. I have taken two blood reports but the doctor only gives painkillers. Please suggest?

Due to skin allergy and hair loss I consulted a skin doctor. My lab report shows vitamin B12 deficiency and very low ferritin levels, but the skin doctor did not give any treatment for that. Please help me and give suggestions as I am in urgent need?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please suggest the report results. I always have brain fog and back head pain. While walking I feel like I may fall down and sudden movement of the head causes dizziness. Eye movement is also difficult.
