What to do after Phosphorus blood test?
If bleeding occurs after your Phosphorus test, raise your arm and apply pressure to the spot for at least 3 minutes. It’s normal to see some bruising after a Phosphorus blood draw. If you feel pain following the Phosphorus test, apply ice wrapped in a towel to the area for 10 minutes. For anything more than mild discomfort, contact your doctor.
