I am a diabetic. Once day I had a blood test & it really hurt on the spot where they put the needle in. Then it turned purple & black & was the size of a 50cent peice. I ended up not being to keep that arm bent of any length of time after that. For example if I held a phone up for to long I had to straighted this arm out. So when I needed a blood test I stopped allowing them to use this arm. Then in Sept. I started having trouble with my other arm. I stopped being about to lift it all the way up. I had really bad pain & had an x-ray last week. My nurse practitioner thinks I might have a rotor cup problem. I just don't know what to think & want to go to a chiropractor thinking if he does somethin it might help the top arm. I go Wednesday to see what the x-ray says but i am thinking they also want me to give blood & I don't want to anymore. How will I get my diabetic meds if i am not willing to have blood taken or is there another way? Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.
