Anyone ever have a blood blister on your fistula?

Anyone ever have a blood blister on your fistula?   I have never had one before, it's right on the vein where the one needle gets put into.                A real pain in the you know where cuz they had to start sticking me in a 'new' place. All I can say is OUCHIE where they started needling in the new spot.   

They don't want to upset the area where the blister is. Can't wait for it to be gone, it's going away slowly but surely though.   Part of the scab has actually lifted and looks like it won't be too much longer before it falls off.  Its much smaller now than it was last week.

Anyone ever have this or heard of it?

Not on a fistula, but on the bottom of my foot ( toes, actually). As yours is doing, it slowly fades away, but boy it sure had its share of pain.

OUch! That sounds painful to have it there! Did yours throb? Mine did for the first couple days.

After I showered today the scab fell right off, I'm so happy now my nurses can go back to the old place! lol
