Bruises

I have absolutely no idea how I got the bruises on my thighs, and now they are gone only to be replaced by one on my forearm, couple of inches up from the clasp of my watch. Thankfully living in Scotland means long sleeves!

It might be an age thing, I have huge bruises where I don’t remember bumping into anything or hitting myself, but have a big crash or fall and think there will be a huge bruise there tomorrow, and there’s nothing! Have learnt not to worry. Get it checked out just in case because unknown bruising appearing can be a sign of some forms of cancer.😍

Hey @watsoncraig, it could be that your platelets are running a little low. Are you due a blood test at all soon?

No tests coming up soon @vixen . The height of the leg bruises coincides with desk height but next one that shows up I am going to get looked at
