I have been getting weird bruises on my body lately. They usually leave in a day or so. Tonight I found a bruise on my coccyx bone. Any one else experienced this? Thank you for your help.

I bruise very easily but I take ELIQUIS. My bruises are usually large and itch. They remail for at least a month.

No, not anemic. Thank you though.

Hi Susan,
I have not had any falls, no blood thinners, no on the dyscrassias. I do have polyneuropathy which causes my feet to be cold unless I have an outside source of heat for it (i.e. heated blanket or hand warmers in my shoes)

I will try to help.
1. Any recent falls, injuries?
2. Are you taking any blood thinners ( Eleoquis, Pradaxa, Coumadin, etc.)
4. Do you have any blood dyscrasias?

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, do you have enough iron in your diet. Being anemic can cause easy bruising
