I use to get bruising when I first started methotrexate and every now and then they come for a visit. I mentioned it to a rheumatologist and he said if your bloods are ok there’s nothing to worry about. I would contact your clinic just incase

I get a lot of bruising too and don't remember banging, bumping into things. I think you will find a few of us on the forum do.

Looking at the replies you have had I see I am not alone. I get lots of bruise where I think where did that come. My arms are very often bruised because I have tissue like skin now thanks to the drugs. I can knock my arm and I get deep red blotches on them .xxxxx

Thanks Whaleroad that’s encouraging to hear and bearing in mind my body had reacted like this before.... I will wait and see.

I get them all the time on my arms. My rheumatologist said it's common in Ra patients. A combination of medications used and thinning skin as we get older I was told was the cause.

I get lots of bruises for no apparent reason. I have been told that steroids can do it and so can having RA. I usually get them on my legs and in fact, never have a time when there isn't some on my legs. I once had one that measures 6' x 4' and that one did worry me, but it just faded over the next few days.

Yes I too get lots of bruises and don't remember doing anything to cause them. Yours looks like the ones I get from knocking into the end of my bed, a line of bruise to the bigger bruise like you've scraped against something. I'm on the same meds as you.

I agree with everyone. I get lots of bruising with no idea where they came from.
