Blood drawn created bruise after lifting weights

[barrett77]

I had blood drawn last Thursday (3/30) for a white blood cell test. I lifted weights today which included some bicep curls and noticed a bruise where the blood was drawn. Is this normal?

I believe it's normal. I also got blood drawn, lifted weights, and then developed bruises near where I got it drawn.

Thank you! It freaked me out since it happened right after I did bicep curls.
