Saw my GP today who has seen a lot worse bruising than mine! The trouble is first time around it's all so unknown. I appreciate the support I got on here when I was worried - thank you all.
However she did give me some chilli cream for the nerve pain I am getting - an interesting concept but which makes sense now I have done some research. She has also signed me off for another 4 weeks and requested an x-ray as I am still breathless.
Will keep you posted.
Chilli cream? That's sorted my Thursday morning reading out then...how interesting!
I'm glad you've found the forums helpful 
Have a lovely day, Chris
glad to hear it, I have some shockers, most of which I have no idea where they came from
Chilli cream? Can you put that on chicken?
On a more serious note, when I started on antiplatelets, aspirin and clopidogrel, I bruised very easily as most do but nowadays I hardly bruise much at all in comparison. Does that mean the antiplatelets are losing their effectiveness?
