[QUOTE="mchphoto, post: 466670, member: 60084"] I have the same problem in my arms have had for many years and I am fit and healthy etc, however when they try to get blood out of my arm they fail almost every time (hurts like hell) and they have to use a butterfly needle on the back of my hand. Initially they do not like this, but when they look at my vanes in the arms they do it via the back of the hand. The hospital is OK with this, it's the nurse at the surgery that does not like this as they do not have the supplies, e.g. butterfly needle and they look at me oddly when I mention this. (I have no idea why my vanes in my arms are like this at all). [/QUOTE]
