    Hi Joan

    You're not on anything like warfarin are you?? I know that can make you bruise easily - even with slight knocks....

    If I was you I would check with the GP especially if it happens again.

    Hope you are well otherwise?

    Love

    Hi Joan,

    I've never heard of arther causing bruising
    (but I know not a lot anyway so other peeps might know different!)

    What meds are you on? could any of them caused it? the reason I'm asking is that with some of the meds...like ant tnfs.... you are asked to report any 'unusual' and unexplained bruising...

    It can't do any harm to go see the doc tomorrow and have it checked out, so give that some serious thought?:wink:

    Hi Joan,

    I agree with Toni and Iris and its best you do see the gp for this one. Arthritis I don't think can cause bruising but a whole heap of meds can so please get it checked out. Luv and a ((( ))) Cris xx

    Dear Joan

    You may well find that Amitriptyline can cause bruising, if you read the instructions etc in the packet.
