Bruising

Good morning all. Wondering if anyone else has problems with easy bruising. I notice it especially after I work out. When I came home Friday morning from the gym, I noticed I had not 1, or 2, or 3...but 4!! nice size bruises on my arms. They are sore to the touch as well. Does anyone know what this could be a sign of. Someone mentioned iron deficiency, but I take my two Centrum a day with iron. Any suggestions. Thanks.

yep, I bruise nearly daily, as I understand it, it comes from the malabsorptive nature of the intestines post operative. [[Malabsorption causes weight loss, glossitis, carpopedal spasms, absent tendon reflexes, cutaneous bruising, flatulence, and abdominal distention, bloating, or discomfort resulting from increased intestinal bulk and gas production.]] as I understand it, we just have to be more careful, live with it, and eat more liver. ;) yumm

Hi, I too bruise very easily now. I did yardwork yesterday and came instead to legs full of bruises ... almost didn't want to go to the gym because it looked like I'd been beat up so badly. Funny thing is, I have no idea what caused them!
