Popped Vein03/19/2010 |
Well, Two Nights Ago (March 16, 2010) I Was Laying In Bed, Just Laying. When I Accidently Banged My Hand Against My Bed Pole. I Felt A Stinging Feeling But Decided To Sleep It Away. I Awoke The Next Morning With The Area I Banged My Hand On Was Purple Ish. My Mother Said Just See What The School Nurse Would Say About It. So I Attended School That Day And Had Her Check Up On It. She Meerly Gave Me A Ice Pack Which Burned Immediately At Contact With The Popped Vein, But I Continued To Pressure The Pack On My Vein. I Let Go When A Burning Feeling Began To Spread On The Vein. Should I Go To A Doctor Is What I`m Basically Getting At?
