Hi Doc, I Have Had A Problem With Bruising On
Hi Doc,
I have had a problem with bruising on mostly my upper arms and occasionally on my thighs as well. There's slight tenderness to touch and feels like there's a bundle of veins under the bruise. I've had this problem for maybe 6/7 yrs now. Dr's have not been able to figure out what the cause is. I had platelet count, PT and PTT done and they were all normal. This occurs every 2-3 months or so and the bruises last for a week or two. This month the bruises on my lt arm are much bigger and painful.
