I sometimes find unexplainable bruises on me. Was told i have fibro week before Christmas so this is all new to me . Is this bruising a fibro thing what with tender points etc..?

Yes. Bruising seems to be a fibro sympom. I get them all the time and have no idea where they came from. If you have any other questions, just ask. We all try to help anyway we can. Hugs

Yes. Especially on my lower arms when I carry in plastic grocery bags on my arms. Took me awhile to figure it out. Lol

I have had Fibromyalgia for about 20 years and do not associate my bruising to Fibromyalgia. I do tend to unexplained bruising but I only started encountering this problem after open heart surgery and was told the bruising is due to use of statins for treatment of congestive heart disease.
