(*by which I mean I actually felt slight sharp stab as the needle went in. Normally it's not actually painful at all)

Hah! I got that too this weekend! Although I told every nurse that my veins are... wiggly and that there are better spots for drawing blood, the first ones insisted on trying anyway. Result, six nasty painful bruises as big as an egg. At this point they're not painful and are yellowing but quite a souvenir...
