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?

Ooh, ow!! I know the feeling, though. They sometimes have a hard time finding a vein in my arms, too. Lately I've been lucky and they've hit the vein the first time, but one time they couldn't find a vein. One gal stuck me over and over, beating on my arm to "raise a vein", then she called in another person to stab and beat on my other arm! By the time they found a vein that would work, I was sore and had bruises from my wrists to my elbows on both arms!
