Nerve injury phlebotomist blood draw

It's going to be a year in May and I have a lot of pain. I have had pain every day. Burning, tingling, sharp pain.
The women pinched my nerve and since I had 3 miscarriages they had me fill 10 tubes of blood. She made wait till she finished all of them while I was crying. Ever since I have been in agony.
I have had ekg * normal she said   Dr's plays it off like it will heal soon, Taking Neurontin and had 3 months of Physical therapy. Nothing is helping me. No one is helping. Please I need any information.
I have pain thru my arm to my fingers and numbness in fingers. My pain is the same like it was when the women pinched my nerve and still continues. I feel like it's gotten worse now. Please help me. I work so hard at work and take like 80 calls a day and have to type a lot and having so much pain.
Bless you all.

Where did she put the needle?  Did she choose a vein in the center of the antecubital area, or toward the thumb side of your arm?  Or did she choose the pinky side?  If she chose the pinky side, that is not a safe site to choose, as it is easier to hit nerves and arteries.  If she chose the correct part and you complained of pain, she should have stopped and withdrawn the needle and tried the other arm.  Nobody can say how bad she hit the nerve and how long the pain may continue, unfortunately.
