Pāhonoa te oro

“Your vein… just blew… now what?” “A ‘blown vein’ sounds scary… but it’s usually not what you think.” “It happens when a needle or pressure damages a vein…” “And blood leaks under the skin.” “That’s why you see swelling… and a dark bruise forming.” “It may hurt… but most of the time, your body heals it on its own.” “But if the pain gets worse… or swelling spreads…” “It’s time to get it checked.”
