Bruising returning

[DaveQ67]

Hi,

One of my main symptoms at diagnosis of decompensated cirrhosis a year ago was bruising for no reason.

This disappeared with time. Lately I’ve taken a couple of bumps at work ( nothing bad, only slight knock) and have got bruises. These are taken some time to heal.

I’ve taken some bumps similar in the last year but no bruising.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Get your bloods done to see if there is something amiss with your platelets or clotting.

I have the same issue as you. I have to watch myself. Any little bump on my body turns into a back and blue bruise that unfortunately takes 2-3 weeks to get rid off.

As Katie mentioned, get your platelet count blood test done. Mine is 58.

Best Wishes

wow

I’m glad I read this post , I’m in the same situation bruises appearing again. I know I have knocked myself but nothing to warrant bruising but they appear so after reading your post and your replies I called my doctor and have requested bloods, just to be sure.

check your platlets, i had the same problem and if i bruse its an indicator my platelets are low, if i cut myself as well it take a while to stem the bleeding
