My arm after inferior petrosal sinus sampling

They done your sample through your arm? I’ve never heard of doing it through your arm. They done mine through my inner thigh. I’m not sure if I bruised as bad as that since I couldn’t really see it.

Melinda,
The IPSS was done through my groin, but I had blood taken from my arms too. Every time I had blood tests, bruises like that would appear, and around that time, I had a lot of blood tests!
