Big dark bruises - liver disease?!?

[alcopop]

Hi all

Unfortunately I'm back with a new worry!

So, after I had my COVID jab, I had a really dark bruise on my shoulder/arm where it went in... It took about 2.5 weeks to heal.

The other day, I whacked my upper thigh hard on a corner, and a really nasty dark bruise has appeared - about 4 inches long and black/blue in colour. Bad enough for my partner to remark on it.
I also remember having another bad bruise last week from rolling on something hard...

My worry is (as is usually the case) that it is a sign of liver disease.

I had a blood test for liver fibrosis done 2 months ago and it came back normal.

But now I've read a bad liver causes bruising as it stops blood from clotting easily so bruises appear more easily. :(

Does this just sound like Health Anxiety or something I should have checked out?

I don't have any other symptoms.

Thanks in advance

I bruise very easily and you are probably yhe same. Most times I don't even remember how I got a bruise. Liver disease would not just show up as bruising. The bruising probably wouldn't disappear either.

Non alcoholic liver cirrhosis runs in my family. I talked to my doctor about it. He thinks a yearly check is sufficient. I don’t think your liver could have gone from good to bad so quickly. I get random big bruises sometimes. I don’t why, but it’s been happening for years and my liver is just fine.

It sounds as though you have explanations for both bruises. 2 bruises isn’t many. I always have a bruise on my leg. Half the time I’m not sure where it came from. If it was on a random body part like your back or stomach then it would be more concerning. Leg bruises are very common, I would only be concerned if they were very very large with no cause and not healing
