Painful skin and bruising
Posted: 01-15-08 01:33am

My GF has some issues that I'm concerned about.
she's only 20, and has a history of health problems in her family (her mom was adopted).

Anyway, she has started complaining that it hurts when she shaves now, and she bruises really easily, and it never used to be this way. She actually developed arthritis in her thigh recently as well. She often complains about it being cold when I find it a perfectly fine temperature, or when even other women find it a perfectly fine temperature and she's all bundled up. She has asthma, and is allergic to airborne substances.

I don't know if any of this information helps or whatnot, but could someone please let us know what might be going on here?

Thanks a bunch!

PS: The reason we are posting here is because she's been waiting to see a doctor (about the arthritis) for about 5 months and still hasn't heard back from him, and we don't really know whats going on.

I would definitely talk to someone as soon as possible. She could have anemia or something else. If her doctor will not see her then she needs to find another one. 5 months is ridiculous.
