Unexplained Bruising
Posted: 07-31-06 23:27pm

Hypochondriac ramblings but im slightly concerned:

any advice/comments would be appreciated!

Im a relatively small girl. 5'4 and probably about 107lbs or less right now. Im currently not on any meds but was on an antidepressant. I have bruises all over me.

I bruise so easily. Like its not funny anymore. It looks like someone beat the crap out of me. The smallest bump into anything turns into a horrendous bruise. I first asked my doctor about it about 6 months ago.

The doc and I talked about how my mom was anemic. She gets b12 shots every month and has to get her blood tested and go to the cancer/blood center for that.

I think he drew blood to test me when I first went in to ask about it and I think he said everything was fine. I know some people bruise easily but this cannot be normal.

It concerns me that I dont ever remember bumping into anything and I dont know where half of them come from. Sometimes I think if im sitting down on like a bench or something and my legs are resting against a hard surface that leaves bruises.

What could be going on? Should I go back to the doctor or am I worrying over nothing and perhaps I do just bruise easily.

Thanks for any help.
