Hello, do any of you bruise really easily? I partically walked in a wall earlier on this morning, and I've already bruised. I have a massive bruise on my hip and have no idea where/when I hit it.
Also, my ribs (towards my back) feel bruised inside. Either I'm a walking hazard or I'm a peach!!

Members strongly resonated with the experience of bruising extremely easily, with many describing large bruises appearing from minor bumps or seemingly out of nowhere. Several members shared that their bruising has worsened with age, and one member noted that taking anti-inflammatory medications like Celecoxib can increase bruising tendencies. A recurring theme was the mystery of finding unexplained bruises, with one member suggesting that rib pain might be costochondritis, a painful but common inflammatory condition.
