Bruising

[Alan55]

Playing with dog yesterday he pulled soft toy out of my hand.within a few minutes my index finger felt like it was burning and swelled up on the top . Then it turned into a bruise on it which is still there today.anybody else have these kind of problems? Many thanks .Alan

Hello Alan I have had problems with bruising for years. I have lost count the number of doctors doing numerous tests I have had try to find an answer, non ever found but I have seen bruising listed as a fibro symptom.

Having said that I do urge you to see a doctor and get it checked out.

Hi,

look at me and I bruise. It is also a side effect of some of the medication I am on ie. blood pressure medication for one group.

Hi Alan55

I am so sorry to read that you have hurt yourself in this way, and I hope that it clears up soon. As mayrose54 says it is best to get it checked out. Usually with a swelling and bruise, a nurse at your surgery would put a cold compress on it to bring down the swelling. A walk-in Centre should also do the same for you?

Good luck

Ken
