mysterious "bruising" - Limited OT

5,257 3,968 October 30, 2010 at 10:50 AM in Chat
over the last 2 weeks i've developed many "bruises" and i have no idea where they came from. i haven't taken any falls, bumped into anything...nothing like that. what is weird is that you can't actually tell there's a bruise there - there is no discoloration of the skin. but when i touch that spot it hurts like it is a bruise.

there are "bruises" on one of my calves, both my knees, my left hip, my left butt cheek, my right upper arm, part of my right shoulder (on my back) and one or two places on my right breast. Ermm

it's very weird, and it's actually really bothering me. i've got all sorts of weird ailments running through my head right now. i promise that i have not taken a fall or a random roll down a big hill lately. this whole thing started about two weeks ago with my knees and has just gone from there.

diagnose me Lounge.

I don't mean this in a judgmental or rude manner, but aren't you the one that drinks alcohol excessively? It could very well have something to do with the amount of alcohol you are currently consuming, although, I am not a doctor so I don't know this to be a potential cause.

So, "Margarita Mistress" is more than just a funny tag-line?
Damn, I wanna have one of your margaritas, now.

actually, that comes from the Finzz Fan Club. when i joined the club, i was given the title (or i chose the title) of Margarita Mistress laugh out loud

i prefer beer, but when i do make margaritas, i make them from scratch with fresh squeezed lime juice Wink5

no, i have to call first. and i haven't called. it's a busy morning here, i have a meeting in 20mins. i'll try to call at lunchtime. Ermm

this morning i noticed a bruise where there previously wasn't one. it's one of the spots that was sore. but as of today, only 1 or 2 spots are still sore, the rest are "healed" or whatever. Dontknow

i'm always paranoid i'll go to the doctor for something that i think is serious, and they'll laugh at me and tell me i'm being paranoid and stupid. my best friend is a hypochondriac and goes to the doctor for everything. i always Facepalm when she tells me she's at the hospital for this or that, and i don't want to be that person who thinks they're dying because they have a mosquito bite.

don't make an appointment with your PCP.

Pretty sure the SD lounge's diagnosis is enough to get you on your way back to health while providing peace of mind.

Iagree when you are boozing, you always bump into stuff and don't know it

I am surprised that you came here to ask for medical advice. Go see a doctor.

I get a lot of bruising and my doc just told me that some people have thinner linnings and the capillaries will just brake for the slightest push. You might not notice but at night you might be causing this "bruising" but just get yourself checked to be on the safe side. I actually have about 10 bruises right now including one on my right butt cheek.
