Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 I have a question for all of you. Has anyone taking prednisone noticed any bruising on any part of your body? I have been finding numerous bruises. But only on my legs and feet. God bless you all. NormaJean Hi NormaJean- I have recently discontinued the use of prednisone after continual use for 9 months. I now only recieve pred. injections on an 'as needed' basis. I did notice that while on the pred. I had an unusual occurance of bruising. If you read the insert that comes with your prescription it is described that you are more succeptable to injury and that the steroids will hinder wound healing time by a large percentage. This may be the reason for the seemingly many bruises. They are most likely remaining longer that would without the pred. consumption. I noticed this with open wounds also. Even little scratches from work, shaving, etc.. would take what seemed like forever to heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 Thanks . I was never given any of the inserts that come with most medications. Like the name too. I dread it also.
