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

I recovered from COVID 19 on 20th April and was treated with Fabiflu and Deflazacort tapering dose for 9 days along with blood thinners for 15 days. My blood report on 18th May showed SGPT at 153 and SGOT at 59. A follow up report on 18th June shows SGPT at 90 and SGOT at 55. I currently do not have any symptoms except mild burning and tingling sensations in my feet and legs. How long it usually takes for these liver enzyme levels to return to normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My symptoms are similar to restless leg syndrome: tingling sensation under feet, leg pain, fatigue, drowsiness, etc. I have done blood tests, thyroid, kidney, and liver tests and all are normal. Please help me with this as I have been suffering for 2 years. I have used some multivitamin and mineral tablets.
