Yes always. It's fibro related
The fibro effect

Things that might lend to bruising because we have fibromyalgia:

Loss of proprioception – proprioception is a sense of where our body is located in relationship to the space around us.
Comorbid myofascial pain syndrome – trigger points (TrPs) are knotted up pieces of skeletal muscle fiber that shorten the muscle and cause restriction of movement. Development of TrPs in the neck can cause us to walk into things, drop things without warning, become dizzy, have visual disturbances, experience headaches, and more. When they develop in our extremities, the muscles involved interfere with normal tandem function with other muscles and with joint range of motion.
Neurological problems – Nathaniel Watson, et al. found that individuals with FM exhibited abnormalities of cranial nerves IX and X, sensation, strength, and gait as compared to pain-free controls. (2009)
Fibrofog – cognitive dysfunction is a primary symptom of FM and can cause us to be easily distracted.
Dysfunctional sleep – poor sleep quality, another primary symptom of fibromyalgia, not only delays mental awareness, it also impedes micro healing.
Other causes

Age
Family history
Underlying health problem that affects normal clotting factors
Recurrent physical abuse
Medication side effects
Medication interactions
Nutritional deficiencies
According to Mayo Clinic, easy bruising can indicate a serious underlying condition. They suggest we see our doctor if we:

Have frequent, large bruises, especially if your bruises appear on your trunk, back or face, or seem to develop for no known reasons
Have easy bruising and a history of significant bleeding, such as during a surgical procedure
Suddenly begin bruising, especially if you recently started a new medication
Have a family history of easy bruising or bleeding

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about possible medications that can cause easy bruising, both prescription and over the counter.
Acute treatment – if you are aware you hit something, as soon as you can, apply cold compresses, 20 minutes on/20 minutes off, and elevate the injured area.
Be kind to your body.
It’s not much of a stretch (pun) to say it seems door jams reach out and grab our fibro legs and our arms hit door casings full throttle. Mysterious bruising is not new to us. But if you are in question, please follow the advice from Mayo Clinic and discuss it with your doctor.
