Hiya,
Hope all is well with everyone
Does anyone else bruise easily? I'm finding, just in the last few days, when I bang a bit of my body it hurts more than it would normally and then I'm left with a bruise. My knuckle is all swollen and blue from banging it slightly on a cupboard.

Hi Eileen,
It could be a result of some of the drugs so worth getting it checked out my friend.
I am luciky... I just don't bruise... no blood and bad circulation has its advantages at times
I do swell from silly things but the bruising... please just run it past your gp. ((((( ))))) and a cuppa Cris xx0 -
I bruise all the time, even without banging myself and I think the sulph is the culprit. To be honest I don't even notice it now. I have bloods done regularly and I was recently told to up the FA to three times per week, maybe that is why. I must admit I wasn't curious enough to ask! If you are concerned then tell your GP the next time you see him/her. I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hi there
I too bruise really easily, even in the childhood my brothers used to call me 'apple' because of the bruising... lol....
As eveyone else mentioned it could be your meds...??
But - If your still worried see your GP - they can run blood tests, to check things out...
My bloods checked out OK - probably medication - just one of those things... :roll:
Have a sunny Sunday xxhugs freesia xxx0 -
Hi , Eileen , I am always covered in bruises too and have been since childhood . When small , my poor parents were blamed and as I grew older my doctors always quizzed me as to whether boyfriends were violent ! So many bruises nowadays that it's just accepted as part of who I am . Jillyb0

I bruise easily, especially my legs, but I put it down to my age. I do know you're not in your dotage like me Magenta so I'd check with the doc if you're worried.

Hi Magenta
I have been bruising really easily in the last couple of month, you go and have your bloods checked, my blood count was love due to taking omeprazole, I was shocked to think that this stomach protector could do this, but its the best of two evils, I have to have them checked regular for the next few months..
So go and see your GP....and please let us know how you get on..xLove

Thanks everyone for your replies.
I assumed it was just 'another' thing associated with the arthritis. I've been on Omeprazole for years and years-do you think it could now be the culprit? Next time I'm at the drs, I'll mention it to him.
Thanks,

Hi magenta, I bruise really easy and I'm not on steroids, my legs and arms have bruises on them and I can't remember where half of them come from!! When I'm getting dressed of a morning or undressed at night I will find a new one, some stand out in your face others are light. I think it's just another thing Arther likes to give us as a reminder!! :roll:0
