Lots of equipment out there to try to make regular testing as pain free as possible.

A good blood test by a health professional qualified to take blood should not leave marks, bruises or any muscle twitching. If problems occur ask for some other qualified to take bloods, done with a sharp syringe, relaxation and a reasonable time factor blood taking can be a pleasant experience with no problems.
