mysterious "bruising" - Limited OT

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.
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.

Besides if OP is a drinker, it could very well be an Upper GI Bleed, where the bruising is coming from that, no outside bruising, but a loss of blood that is going unnoticed, due to internal bleeding - seen it happen before - and by the time the patient gets to the hospital they have something like 6 pints of blood in their system and are lucky to make it - most die. So if OP is afraid of doctors - don't go - die - one less person to deal with when it comes to stupid decision makers regarding their own health

Yeah, was a good friend, and we went to him all the time when oral surgery was needed - still don't understand why? He even invented something many people who deep sea dive use, and those whom snorkel. He was one smart cookie, even in HS. Miss him, cause he was good at what he did, guy whom replaced him, ain't as good

Now if you really do have these bruises that are under the skin, and also are having issues with your arm, raising it, and have had a recent migraine (are you prone to migraines, or was this a different type headache for you (?) - then you really do need to call your doctor.
You come here for advice - you may not like what you hear - you said "limited OT" - well, you got both from me
Btw - I'm Finzz's Angel for a reason - so heed the Angel's thoughts - even Finzz would agree

So sometimes a friend does come in handy, when you need to make a decision you don't want to make
