mcherder 13 Posted July 29, 2014 I lost my balance while walking and i fell on my left knee. I expected bruising, but not to the extent of what i am experiencing. I could be anemic due to my post op 7th week diet, but i am concern. Has anyone experienced bad bruising post-op? Feedback would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah, but my bruising issues happened this year - a few years post op. It may be a deficiency. My blood work is PERFECT though so could never find a reason. I bought a supplement that is supposed to help, I am eating well and I seem less black and blue these days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcherder 13 Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks! By any chance, which supplement did you take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted July 30, 2014 My doctor recommended a supplement called Veinoblend a "vein support" supplement by Vitanica. I am sure there are others... I am not sure how much it helped because I improved my eating at the same time but I am no longer covered in bruises so i do think it helped. what i find interesting is that my blood work is perfect, and i had it tested when i was in the worst of my "difficult" time so it doesn't make much sense to me.

mcherder 13 Posted July 30, 2014 Thank you! I will do some research to see if i can take the supplement. I favor herbals over any prescriptions any day. I appreciate the feedback. Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
