Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Yeah, I notice I get bruises and I very seldom know how they got there. Rarely do I bump on something and can explain the bruise.
Does it hurt when touched?
I would say if you are concerned, then definitely ask you dr about it.
Better safe than sorry.

No, it doesn't hurt at all... I think I just bumped something and now that you guys mention it I do bruise very easy and it takes forever to go away...I think I'll pass on the doc..now that I think about it I was carrying some wood upstaire to the living room for wood burning stove and I bet thats when I pinched or bumped it and did not realize it...Thanks you guys, your replys got me to thinking !!! if it was sore or a lump then I'd see the doc but ZI don't think it's a big deal now... I freak out a little sometimes cuz I never know what shit will come up with all the health crap I (we) have..Thanks again..hugs...Janet

For a short period during my treatment I had bruises everywhere on my legs and arms.. possible you could be enemic. you should probably get checked and make sure you tell the doc about your concern so they just dont blow it off. thats just one thing it may be.. anemia. The brusing is one now and again, but for a couple weeks looked like I got the crap beat out of me.. If you find out what it may be beside enemia..pleas share.. alot of people have the same thing going on and if there is something we can do. It would be helpful.. Don't freak out though honey.. that just puts a fire under the pain. and instead of worring and stressing.. go see your doc okay.. take care and good luck.. you are in my prayers!!
Big hugs@!@ang

Hey sister! Once I was a few weeks into tx I kept getting bruises in different spots for no obvious reason. But definitely get them checked out just to be sure.

I asked my herbal doc and she gave me some vitamin K, Vegtables that are green have that also, it does not take much to work. I only took it once or twice since I also inject insulin which leaves big bruises. Worked for me.

I can understand why that would freak you out...when they appear out of nowhere ya gotta wonder....I just started tx but have been having bruises for yrs for no reason...the ones that scare me are the little round reddish purple ones that appear overnight on my arms....w/this virus and tx it is hard to tell what is normal and what is a side affect...you probably did do it w/carrying wood but if these continue I would definitely ask doc...what could it hurt other than to ease your mind....take care dear friend

I haven't done tx yet but I have noticed that not only do I bruise more easily now, but the bruises are darker and last longer than they used to.
I have lousy veins, so the docs have to get my blood from unusual places such as the top of my hand or last time, my inner right wrist. I had the blood test 11/06 and STILL have a bruise. I know I am not anemic.

Hi, I have a low platelet count and bruise very easily. I found a huge bruise on the back of my leg 12 cm across a few days ago. I am not worried, but nI have to have an infusion of platelets when I have any biopsies or invasive treatment. I just had RFA. I am ok. Don't worry about it but get your doctor to check your blood count.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
