i know you have main vains and artarys but do you also have smaller ones? i cut fairly bad last night an i think i might have either cut through a small artary or scrached one because the blood didn't but flow out like it normaly does.... it was pumping out. i have been told by a nurse, in the past, that an artary will pump out an a vain will flow out very fast.
i aplied pressure an elevated my arm an it stoped after about 15 mins. any ideas anyone if you do have smaller ones an if i could have cut through it? Posted on 11/07/09, 03:11 am |

you have veins and arteries... yes, the nurse you talked to is correct... veins will sort of just pool the blood and it'll be a bright color red... when you cut or sever an artery, the blood is dark red, almost black, and it pumps out with a lot of pressure... If you cut through an artery, just putting pressure on it wouldn't have helped you... you'd have needed to go to the hospital... you probably just cut a vein deeper than you thought..

i have seeked medical advice an it was an artery i hit but not a main one witch is why it did stop after a bit. if it had been a bigger one i wouldn't have been able to stop it on my own. i almost didn't last night as i was very close to passing out.
anyway because of last night i have made the desistion to stop. last night i made my last cut! i can't carry on like this any more. its time to stop. i don't know how i am going to stop but i know i have too!!
