Is It True ,That The Stonger You Are In Your Arm muscle , the less it would hurt when you get you blood taken?

Answer:
It's not true. Everyone has a different threshold of pain. To some it's nothing. To others it may be excruciating. It also depends on the skill of the person inserting the needle.

If you think it hurts to get blood drawn you are probably a wussy

---

Not neccesarilly (i cant spell lol)

---

It doens't hurt to get blood taken.

---

Giving blood doesn't hurt, not finding a vein is what hurts. So The more you are pumped up with muscle the easier it is to find a vein

---

The pain has nothing to do with how strong your arm is.It depends how swift and accurate that the blood taker is

---

If the phlebotomist drawing your blood is good and your veins are not tiny it shouldnt hurt whether you have muscles or not

---

While it may be true that having the underlying layer of muscle makes the vein closer to the surface and eaier to access, I would not say that muscle content actually affects the level of pain associated with venipuncture. The skill level of the phlebotomist is important as well as the reaction of the patient. If you are nervous and jittery, any pain you feel could be amplified under the stress and make the experience worse. And don't forget to eat before having your blood drawn, unless instructed to fast by your doctor. having low blood glucose levels and getting upset are not a good combination, especially when a needle is involved. Also, each individual has his own level of pain tolerance.

i believe it is the opposite because the more muscle you have the more pressure their will be.

My sister draws blood for a living and its not the size of you muscle that will make it hurt i depends on the size of your vein the experience that the phlebotomist has and also how nervous you are because when your nervous all the blood rushes to you heart and organs which takes blood away from your arm or where ever your getting poked and the less blood there is where its being drawn the harder it is to get the blood and the more painfull it is.

there is no temporal relation between muscles and pain. But if you've lots of muscle, you could not have gotten it without a lot of pain... So I guess it works that way... you'll be able to bear it easier.Also if you're muscular and not laden with fat... it's very easy to find a vein. So it's easier to draw blood. Sometimes Doctors/ para medics are forced to prick more than once in obese / non muscular people.

The more you work out the better you veins are, so it is easier to give blood...
