Vircet- I have had plenty of PSA test. But never pain like this after . This is a odd one , as everything is suppose to be clean and efficient when taking blood . Infection? Is it red around the injection site? How long does pain last ? I would run this by your GP . Im thinking they may have hit a nerve or slight infection, but hard to tell . Any other health issues ? Let us know how it goes - James on Vancouver Island .

Wasn't red, no swelling, no bruise (bluish) mark. I never had fever so there may be no infection. I experience good days, then a day with 3 to 4 occurences of a little pain for a few seconds, maybe a minute at most. It's not getting any worse. I thought of seeing my primary care provider before posting in this forum. As per "my odd cycle" I am bow on day-2 if no pain. If I see it getting worse, I will see my doctor. Thanks for your advice.
