biglady904 65 Posted August 14, 2017 I'm curious since dropping 167 pounds over the last month I've notched that I bruise easily has this happened to anyone else ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted August 14, 2017 OMG - I am one big purple and multi-colored mess. Add to that I have taken up fencing (en garde!) and I look like a domestic violence victim - so much so that when I had my mammogram last month the tech asked if I felt safe at home. I find that the bruises last longer, too. I smacked the wheels of my fencing bag (about the size of a big golf bag) against my shin about three weeks ago putting it in the car. Hit the same spot two days in a row. That bruise is just now resolving. Maybe we bruised easily before but didn't see it because there was a layer of fat over it?

Brandeis 401 Posted August 15, 2017 Have you had bloodwork done, yet? It's possible you're deficient in something, and that's making your more tender, etc... 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newbeginnings313 6 Posted August 16, 2017 Easy bruising is a key sign of low Iron, do you take an iron supplement? You can always call and have labs done to make sure your levels aren't too low!

gotime0810 71 Posted August 16, 2017 Arnica gel really helps bruises heal faster. Might be worth a try, Lang with lab test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
