I was having unexplained bruising wayyy before i got on gabapetin but who knows.. I have learned that all the little bumps and bruises that we end up with due to the this stupid disease is just part of dealing with it and if it isnt really serious looking..I dont really worry about .. there are more important and more fun things to worry about.. like our loved ones.. .*hugs to everyone who needs one today*

Bruises appear but I can never remember how or when I got them. It's only from this site that I know half of what I know about fibro. A lot makes sense now. Hope this helps

I am always covered in bruises I bet people think that it's my hubby doing it I woke up Sunday morning with 1 that has got a large lump under it. They seem to take forever to go and by then I've got about 3 more to replace it x

Bruising does appear from time to time for no apparent reason but something like you had on your back should warrant an expert to look at it, the doctor or someone at the hospital. It is probably 'just' fibromyalgia but please get it checked. Gentle hugs xx

I've had small bruises but nothing a big of yours . I think it best to get it checked by GP ,it could be a iron deficiency
