After stopping Coumadin doctor put me on 100mg aspirin daily.
The problem is, whenever I slightly bump myself I get bluish black
bruising on my hands or arms. I have been taking the aspirin for
one week now and wonder if I should continue with it. Has anyone
else had this problem with bruising.

" Hi Scotgal. I don't have any experience with bruising while taking 82mg of aspirin daily (before my PE). I am not currently taking it though. My sister on the other hand says the same thing as you. She gets little bruises all over, but her Dr. said it is not a concern. Best to discuss with your GP though. Take care. "

" Hello scotgal,

I'm actually on Coumadin AND a baby aspirin. I have shocking bruises. One of them has a diameter of 2 inches. My INR is 2.
I've come to the realization that I have to be very careful in what I do.

I counted 4 bruises... :/ "

" Hi scotgal,
I think it is always best to check these things out with your doctor.
Personally, I've never been a big bruiser (except after my one and only paintballing session), even on the warfarin.

" LOL I try to match my scrubs that I wear to work with the color stage of my bruises. That way I am totally color coordinated. However I do have to admit its hard to find Scrubs in that weird greensih yellow color. "
