Thats fine, but you'd need to wrap the kids in it too. Mind you, it might be safer for your six year old at Xmas if he is going to keep bouncing off the walls!!!

Hi all

I bruise really easily and am forever covered in them.

When I hurt my foot last year I ended up in hospital getting in x-rayed. It was a warm day so I had shorts on. The first thing the doctor said when he looked at me was "how did you get all those bruises on your legs". He wasn't so concerned about my foot that was black and blue all over! I think he thought I was getting abused too.

I have a load on my arm at the moment - no idea where I got them.

I used to take Arnica and/or use Arnica cream but apparently there was a recent report that said there was no scientific evidence to say that it does any good atall. Well I still use it anyway.

I read that report too, but having suffered some "proper" bruises falling off or being kicked by my equine friends, and using Arnica regularly afterwards, I'm convinced that it improved my bruising much quicker than without!

Maybe it only works on anxious tomboys with a fear of driving who bruise for no reason?

ime the same as nic,

i have permanent bruising,and scratches,all over...in fact ive just found a half decent pic of me to send nic,and guess wot? ime holding a bag of frozen peas to my knee,to take down the swelling lol..bryan.

maybe we should investigate a link between bruising and anxiety!

I remember being asked at school if anyone was 'hurting me'...

I was always buying creams/gels etc for everything and one was them was Arnica. I remember my partner saying it was all a load of rubbish but used the Arnica and now he swears by it!!

Have you checked out the baby walker - bruise height ratio yet?

Does if fit in? If not and you can't think of any other reason, then pop to the docs.

p.s. If it makes you feel any better this is being written by a person who is avoiding going to the osteopath cos her necks gone, and she can't bear anybody to touch it!
