Bruising

[wilmawemyss]

Has anyone else had severe brushing with cirrhosis. Is there anything you can do to speed up the process to clear them up

[Readlots]

Arnica cream might help, but you I think you should discuss it with you’re doctor.

[Dogbot]

No the bruising is part of life when the liver is not working properly and they do take some time to go , sorry about no advice about speeding up the process but that’s the way it is, our thoughts are with you.

Take care

Unfortunately bruising is normal probably due to a low platelet level. Arnica cream is what I used. Talk to your doctors.Hilary

hiya,

Are you having your bloods checked regularly? It is worth mentioning it to your consultant as it can be an indication your platelets are low

[Chick_atee]

Par for the course I think with cirrhosis but do get platelets checked.

I have had great luck with protein powder. Helps bruising, loss of muscle and will help the leaking bowels later in the degeneration.I recommend Ascent and the slow burning Caliente rather than whey. Or mix the two. Casein in the evening.

My 2 cents

If you have liver disease, it is important to seek advice from your doctor and ask to be referred to a dietitian before taking any complementary medicines or dietary supplements.

I had to undress for a nurse for once who had no info on my liver. I had to tell her I wasn’t an abused woman but the owner of two staffie pups. I was black n blue from hip to ankle x
