2063887 tn?1337829746 I just had my sixth infusion and I've been noticing for the last couple of months that I'm bruising really easily. I went to the dentist yesterday and bruised where he held underneath my chin to give me a shot of anesthetic. He was very gentle and it didn't hurt at all, so I don't know why I bruised. I've also had bruising from acupuncture and massage which has never happened before. Most of them don't last long, but I've had a few that lasted a couple of weeks.
460830 tn?1347219306 Besides seeing your doctor, sound like you should, stop the Fish Oil and any aspirin/Ibuprofen for a few days and see it the bruising clears up. Take the non-aspirin pain relief if the headaches return. If the headaches are ongoing that should be discussed with your doctor too. I seem to be one who doesn't bruise easily. I take 5 mg warfarin, 81 mg aspirin and 1 capsule of fish oil (three capsules are recommended by the supplier) and I have not sign of bruising.
Avatar n tn They did the angiogram because of an abnormal stress echo. Would taking ibuprofen contribute to the bruising?
Avatar m tn Hey do you all think I am having liver failure my right arm is bruising and this is my first bruise do you think my liver is starting to have liver failure symptoms.
Avatar f tn Ibuprofen, if you perform your due diligence and search the web, can cause abnormal bruising. Other medications can cause this as well, in addition to alcohol consumption. Ibuprofen is a "non steroidal anti-inflammatory" - that classification of medications, although many over the counter, can sometimes create problems for some people for a variety of reasons.
Avatar n tn I wrestled in highschool (similar physical exertion) and did not suffer severe bruising. I work out very hard and eat maybe 1-2 meals a day (not including protein shakes). I have 10.8% body fat so do not have high fat content that could cause bruising. I may have started suffering more severe bruising after two back surgeries 5-6 years ago. The bruises develop very quickly, in fact by the end of an hour long class they are visible.

Avatar f tn I drink roughly 3/4 glasses of wine per week, and take ibuprofen as needed (roughly 1 or 2 times a week to help relieve sinus headaches) Could the new meds I’m taking be causing the bruising and sweating?
Avatar f tn ve been icing it and taking ibuprofen but as the day has gone on, the swelling has increased in both surface area and girth. The bruising is also spreading and covers about 1/3 of the forearm. Flexing my wrist causes my hand to go asleep, not unlike the pins and needles in my pinky and ring finger from the suspected CTS. Drs office is on emergency only till Monday. Am I safe to wait till then?
Avatar n tn Symptoms that you should watch out for and warrants further evaluation by your doctor include unusually large or painful bruises that develop for no known reason, presence of easy bruising and abnormal bleeding elsewhere ( nose, gums or intestinal tract), suddenly begin bruising (especially if you recently started a new medication) and develop bruising during an illness in addition to fever or confusion. These may indicate low levels of or abnormally functioning platelets.

Avatar n tn Anemia or any other blood disorder may cause bruising. Are you taking NSAIDs? Ibuprofen or Naproxen or Aspirin can cause bruising. - If you didn't hurt yourself, please see a doctor.

Avatar f tn Three nights ago, I fell off my bed and hit the right side of my head, think temporal/edge of eye area, on my metal bed frame. I immediately applied ice, and took some ibuprofen. From that moment on I've been having headaches that migrate from right eye sinus area, up into my temporal bone. There's no swelling or bruising but immense headache pain and direct pressure tenderness. Should I see a doctor??
Avatar f tn Actually, I think Tylenol and ibuprofen are mentioned -- I believe ssris warn of possible bleeding and bruising from nsaids, and both of the above are nsaids. I doubt it stops any of us from using them, but drugs are always going to present possible problems, and docs and pharmacists are pretty clueless about them. There's just too many of them, and most only happen to a minority of users, sometimes a small minority.
Avatar f tn I also did massage on myself and took ibuprofen. I did a lot of stretching. You can ice it or use a heating pad, both help. Does your gym have a pool? You could try water aerobics or swimming while you heal.
Avatar m tn I was able to to maintain my erection and finish. The next day, I had pain on the top right side of my penis and took 600 mg of ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours. The pain was about a 3/4 out of 10. On Tuesday, I had very minor/mild pain and got an erection and masturbated. I was able to finish but some pain during and afterwords. Since Tuesday, I have not done anything sexual but continue to be in pain while flaccid.

Avatar m tn Also wear cotton undergarments.Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a urologist.

Avatar f tn It was sore and tender and also somewhat swollen but no bruising. Talked to his pediatrician and they said to keep an eye on it rest, ice, and ibuprofen which we have done. Now the pain seems worse there is still swelling and he can barley move his arms or anything without pain. Should I be concerned that he may have a sternal fracture or is it likely just bruised and muscle pain? Am I better off taking him to an immediate care facility or taking him to his peditrician?
Avatar f tn Hi am at week 57 of peg and interferon, 60,000 ml eprex, I am bruising very easely, what is this about. My hemoglobine is 9.1 and platlettes at 110,000.
Avatar n tn I dont have a fever, have been eating well, taking ibuprofen and co-codamol to ease any pain. The only problem i have is that it is tender to touch.
Avatar m tn Hello, After a varicocelectomy, some bruising, swelling, and oozing of the wound should be expected. It is very common to have bruising extend onto the shaft of the penis and swelling is a normal part of the healing process as well. As a general guideline, if the wrinkles of the scrotum can be seen and appreciated, then the swelling is within a reasonable level.
Avatar f tn m taking (Rizatriptan, Diclofenac, and Fulticasone) since I have only started to take the medication last year. I was on ibuprofen but stop taking them since the doctor thought the bruising was caused by it. The doctors are treating the conditions that I mentioned separately. I'm not sure if they should be treating the symptoms together or separate. I'm starting to get scared, I'm just want to know what is happening to me.
