I`m thinking low platelets too, JoAnne.  Hope it clears up as your body recovers more from the onslaught of tx!  smile

I bruise easily too these days, but like Tim, I put it down to old age in my case! 

Best of luck with your continuing recovery!

I have the same bruising below the elbow, if i itch a little hard it bruises. I figure it is just low platelets.

Hi JoAnne,

Have the easy-bruising just been since post tx? Are you taking any blood thinners med? I have had easy bruising on my arms(between elbow & wrist) for the past 7 yr.s, don't know why but suspect just old age & sun damage. Best wishes for your post-tx recovery.

Tim
