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
