Bruising with fill

[StLouisGal 1]

Has anyone ever gotten a bruise from a fill. I have a blue bruise about the size of a silver dollar (The old ones not the new little ones) I was surprised because I didn't have any bruising from the surgery or the first fill. Any thoughts? :thumbup:

Yes ma'am, my wife USUALLY gets a bruise. The doctor gives her a local and then the fill. Sometimes he has to "search" for her port and she gets a bruise. It'll be gone in now time, like all those pounds. :-)

I had horrible bruising after the surgery, and small bruising after my first fill

I didn't have any the first time but I had a bruise about the size of a quarter the second time. Took him a bit of maneuvering to get the port that time, so it was probably due to that.

Thanks for the info. That makes me feel a lot better. I talked to the nurse at my doctor's office and she said it isn't uncommon to have a small bruise. She didn't think mine sounded too big.

Yes bruising is very normal. My doc even mentioned it each time I went in for my fill.

I had bad bruises after surgery, but none from the fills.

I had a fill on Monday morning, felt tender all day then noticed on Tuesday that I had a bruise. It is going away pretty quickly. I didn't have one from my first fill. I also had soreness when I laid on my left side until last night, then it was ok.

Add me to the bruised group. I've had one about half dollar sized from both fills and from my surgery. I'm not an easy bruiser either. I just figured it was from all the poking he did. You're in good company. :thumbup:

Yep..me too! First fill took a while for him to find the port..second fill one shot in and out and NO BRUISE!! I figure that first fill was how it would be every time but my port moved on me?? So the second was a total surprise!:woot:

I've had 3 fills now and bruised with each. It takes them a little bit to get to the port so I figure that's why. The bruise is about the size of a quarter. My PA told me that was normal.

Yep, I also had the half-dollar sized bruise. Mine took almost three weeks to go away, though! Weird. I didn't feel one ounce of pain with the fill, though. Thank God for small miracles!
