Hi Dr. Rynne. I am a female 47 years old. I have bruising that starts off as pain on my thighs, when I itch the pain I get bruises, this has been going on for 2 weeks. I also have severe abdominal pain on and off for periods of 20 minutes this has been going on for 1 year. I am on no medications, not over weight, I eat healthy and feel like I want to die. I do suffer from arthritis in my back, knees and hands but, the leg bruising....I am at a loss. The abdominal pain I just think is normal now but, debilitating at times. I take care of 6 elderly people a day...who I love! but I feel worse than them half the time... So depressed. If you have a moment please let me know what you think I should do. Have a Merry Christmas. Thank you From Brandy Gallagher.
