What the Heck?

Woke up yesterday with a bruise on my shoulder. Have no idea how it got there. Right at the area where socket would be. Really hurts. Hemotologist also thought it weird and told me if it doesn't heal in a few days to call. Anyone else ever experience this? I do get bruises with the Bechet's but nothing like this.

I always like to bring attention back to little things. We are normal people, with autoimmune issues so regular/minor things can happen too. I frequently shoulder check the fack out of walls, so much that I dont remember most times. Could have rubbed up on a wall in a hurry and didnt remember...just using my own experience on that one.

Other than that- I live by the "give it a week" rule as i have crazy weird things happen all the time too, and usually they subside in a week. Unless its a sharp pain, give it a week.

Let us know how it progresses or not- xoxo

Thanks. Normally I would have written it off but it's on the top of the shoulder in a very weird place. Not a usual whack the wall area. Will let time tell.

Could be also be a behcet-ty blood vessel that popped. I had one happen in front of my eyes on my thumb joint (near the wrist) and it scared me to death. Maybe you reached for something and pop! Didnt hurt, but had the bruise for a while.
