Hello I am Serenity
Posted: 04-24-08 12:06pm

Hello, I am 46 years old with fibromyalgia. I am a mother of two and grandmother of 3, with the next one on the way. I am having some serious problems with bruising? I am not sure where this is supposed to be posted. Whenever I use my arms/hands i.e. chopping food/veggies, nothing strenuous, I end up with black and blue marks from the top of my wrists to about an inch below my elbow on both arms. They have not been hit, bumped or crushed. If I basically do nothing for a few days they go away, but as soon as I do anything even just replanting a plant, the bruises appear. Any thoughts?

That is alright, I am going to call the doctor on Monday, it is getting worse I just swept the kitchen floor this morning and my arm/forearms just got blacker. I bumped my arm on the counter it broke open and the blood clotted really fast. I am not taking any new meds. I have been on these for years.

serenity1662...I saw where you posted your question. It will probably be Monday before some one gets back to you as the week ends are pretty slow some times. Sorry for the inconvenience. I did alert the moderator. Good Luck.
