I woke up with a bit of a black eye.On blood thinners so think I must have banged myself in the night...anyone else have bruising ?
I had a stroke 7 weeks ago and am now on blood thinners. I am currently covered in bruises - mainly on arms and legs. Hoping this will get a bit less as I get less clumsy! I discussed it with the doctor and he wasn't worried.
I think it shows the thinners are working!
Same with me. I have noticed less bruising lately, because I have learned to move more cautiously. I realize I just have to be more careful. Love, Jeanne
Thank you I am reassured.
Just as a coincidence but the Dr phoned yesterday and he is changing my medication to apixaban. Again this will make bruising and added risk when bleeding higher. I Just think this is something we have get used to.
