Bruising easily

[lisaenidok 2]

I'm almost 5 months out. Have been bruising easily all over. No known injury. As far as I know, all my lab work has been good, except for low vit D for which I'm on rx'd supplement. Anyone else have bruising this far out? Any idea what the cause is? Low on another Vitamin that wasn't tested maybe. I don't know. Would appreciate any info. The bruises show up on my arms. Passed that off as maybe I had bunped into something. Now I have them under the 'apron' area and on my legs. Like in odd spots, such as the back of my knees.

Could be low Vit. K, which is essential for blood clotting. Did you take blood thinners post-op? Sometimes they take awhile to wear off, too. I would think your clotting factors would be back to normal by 5 months, though.

Blod thinner in hospital at time of surgery only. Haven't been bruising all this time, just here lately. Starting some leafy greens finally. Hopefully that'll boost my vit K levels. Just kinda concerned about the apron area bruise. It's been there almost 2 months now. Cant tell that it hurts any, but have had nerve damage there from two prior surgeries. Waiting for insurance from new job to kick in before I get it checked out.
