Muscle spasms/twitching
Hi, I donated plasma for the first time on 1/8. Had a swollen and painful arm after. Went to the doctor, negative DVT and negative hematoma. Well it has been 7 days and now my arm is still tender and I have twitching muscles in both my calves that is keeping me awake at night. Any idea what could be causing this a week after? Have not donated since then either. Thanks!

Local application of glycerin might relive the swollen arm
