Bruising

Recently I have had pain in every pressure point a person could have in there body. I have noticed bruising where those pressure points are. Not dark bruising but faded bruising. Has anyone else has this?

You definitely need to get the cause for the bruising checked out. Have you been taking a lot of Motrin or aspirin? These can sometimes cause bruising. Certain other medications or electrolyte imbalances can cause bruising too. Sounds like you have a bad Fibro flare too. Hope you feel better.

I used too not anymore. But take pictures and show your Dr just to make sure nothing else is going on.

I am always finding bruises in the same spot behind calves/knees and get restless leg syndrome often and my D-Dimer tests are high but they never found a blood clot, I gave up on mentioning it every time. I do get bruises easily as well from any little pinch, fall, bang :-(
