Why I am getting frequent bruises?

[BoonG]

I am on Azothioprine 50mg BD, Methylpredinisolone cyrrently 2mg daily( ranging from 16-8-4-2 mg over time) and Cochicine .5mg BD and few supplements since one year. Why I am getting frequent bruises especially on legs( blue and sometimes hazy red coloured bruises) and sometimes on arms, hands and abdominal skin. I have painful tender points/areas on abdomen too, where the odl ones get cured and new one arise. I have many visible veins on whole body...and my right thigh is always painful with some stuff painful points on it. My rheumatologist does not take my problems seriously and label me as anxious patient. She diagnoses my frequent headaches ( accompanied by te der stiff points on neck and right side of skull) as migraine headaches, whereas I can clearly differentiate between the two.What should I do?

Thanks and regards!

Good day. I cant answer as to your bruising but I would seriously consider a new doctor if at all possible. A second opinion sounds worthwhile. Good luck.

Hi ,I also get lots of bruising , on the tops of my legs , inner arms, abdomen and hands. They are small and purple and are not painful to touch.

I have also stated to get low abdominal pain on my right hand side.
