Do you bruise easily?

I went in this morning to have some blood drawn and even though the stick was nearly painless, I now have a bruise on my arm.  And on the other arm is a fading bruise I got on Friday that I have no idea what I did to get it! But that's not at all unusual.


I've always bruised - and scarred - easily, and many times I don't even remember hurting myself on anything. I sometimes say I could get a bruise from a hard look, lol! And I have scars from things I did when I was a kid!


Do you bruise easily, too? Or is it just me that's usually sporting some odd black and blue (and yellow sometimes) mark?

Yeah, both my daughter and I bruise easily. I had a bruise on the bottom of my foot a few months ago and a bruise under my big toenail. Also tend to pop veins easily when I grab items. Last one I got my finger got bright red and swollen, then the purple/black/blue showed up immediately afterward.

I do and the fun part is wondering how I got them because I'm in my chair all the time.

I'll match your bruise and double it!! LOL!! Know what you mean!! I donated blood last Friday. I had a small bruise on my left arm from routine yearly blood work that had been taken the Monday before. So, the Red Cross flabatomist put the needle in my other arm. You have to be very good at what you're doing to get blood out of my right arm and this gal didn't get it and dug and dug and twisted and twisted and the blood wouldn't come out. OUCH!!
