Hi Everyone, My GP hasn't fully diagnosed Fibro, but has said thats what she thinks is wrong, but is (or was before lockdown) ruling out other things first.

I started with bursitis in my shoulder 3 and a half years ago, and its never gone away, now I seem to have pain every where, and don't sleep.

Recently though my legs are covered in bruises for no reason at all, i have around 20-30 at a time, have any of you had this? Could it be related?

Bruising is not a common feature. However if you are losing balance or cognitive skills with space awareness you may have bumped into more things being in lockdown? Some medications thin the skin so depending on any other health issues that could be part of your bruises.

Hello Kittyanne, I have never had bursitis but I am very prone to bruising. In fact I always have bruises at some places of my body at any one time and have no idea how I got them. My legs are the worst. I think it could be one of the medications I am on, although I have been on it long term I do think it’s the cause

Hey I experience awful bruising same as you either about 20 little ones at a time or big huge bruises. I was about to make a post on it. I’m not on any medications but I did have all sorts of blood tests done a couple weeks ago to check for health issues with bruising (how my blood clots etc) and nothing came back unusual so doctor said it must be down to fibro x
