bruises

Does anybody else have a problem with this...

Since I'm on this cycle I get bruises real quickly when I bump in to something. Strange thing is, it doesn't turn blue, but it feels exactly like it. Other problem is the spot stays sore for about 2 or 3 weeks.

Now this may sound like a sily ? to ya all but I'm quite concerned. I normally don't get bruises easily, and now everytime I hit something, even the slightest bit, I have one. And they really hurt. And as I said, they stay hurting much longer than any 'normal' bruise.

And gear... don't start picking on me again bro... this is a serious question

I get bruising sometimes, but nothing like that. I've shot next to nerve that hurt like hell, but the pain dissapaited within a few days.

Well don't have it with injecting or anything... just when I hit something.

Three weeks ago a buddy gave me a simple shoulder nudge and after 3 weeks the spot is still very sore. I also have one on my shin from running into my bed and a couple more of them.

I missed that..You should get yourself checked out by a doc...

that doesn't sound too good. how long has this been going on? does this only happen when you are on a cycle? any other "strange" symptoms along with the bruises? let us know ASAP. and yes, maybe a doc visit is going to be necessary.

Well this is only my first real cycle... but yes it has only happened now...never had problems b4. It's been going on for about 5-6 weeks I think.

Other strange symptoms...well now that you ask... I do sometimes feel a strange muscular pain. It feels as if they're under pressure from the inside out... like they are inflated with air or so. Kinda sounds silly I guess though. Mainly have this in my forearms. Really hurts sometimes though.

What other symptoms did you have in mind?

do you smoke? smokers, overweight people, anaemic, and vitamin C deficient are the most prone for easy bruising. your blood vessels are breaking very easily (thats what causes a bruise) the blood leaking out gives the black and blue color to your site. i am sure you are taking good care of yourself. i would give it a couple of days and if things are the same or get worse - go have some blood work done. also, check your blood pressure a couple of times a day for the next few days. i wouldn't get too alarmed right now. your hormone levels being out of whack could play a role in this also. just keep eating, lifting, and resting. keep us posted on the details.

Well we'll see if it goes away after the cycle. If not I'll check with the doc.

Tnx for the advice all!
