Terrible bruising

[Vito-Iolo]

Hi everyone, I have a history of bad health ie. Liver Transplant, arthritis, colitis and aplastic anemia.

On top of this about 5 years ago I developed permanent AFib and about this time bruising became a problem to the back of my hands almost up to my elbows, this has now become permanent and any slight nock or graze in other parts of my body bruises so easily.

I’ve been on predisalone for about 16 years because I have an allergy to anti inflammatory medication.

I would be interested in anyone who have experienced this problem.

you don't say if you are taking an anticoagulant?

I bruise very easily now I am on Apixaban,an anti coagulant.You dont say if you are taking these or similar drugs.I wonder if it might be wise to speak to your doctor about this?

Best wishes
