No they are not very painful. Depends upon how the phlebotomist is administering it to you.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

Book HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test Book Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

Please suggest the report results. I always have brain fog and back head pain. While walking I feel like I may fall down and sudden movement of the head causes dizziness. Eye movement is also difficult.

Sir, I have been continuously suffering from pain in the back portion of my left foot. After consulting an orthopedic doctor, he suggested a blood test for uric acid and prescribed some medicines. However, after almost two months, I have not fully recovered. Now, my left hand forefingers have also started hurting. I also consulted a urologist, who said my uric acid levels are normal and advised me to get it checked by a neurologist. Kindly suggest the possible remedies for this problem.
