If your INR is all right, you are probably all right too, but it wouldn't hurt to discuss it with your doctor. in sinus in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 , Hi, I got your emails to day but was at doctor's all afternoon. I used to get a lot of bruising when I first started Coumadin in May of 03, but now I seem to just get regular bruising with normal bumps, etc. Debbi, OU Alum, in OKC > Do any of you slso get leg brusing? my protime has been good even a little thick, but still the backs of my legs are covered. any reply appreciated.

When I do realize that I've done something that will result in a bruise, I put an ice pack on it for about 20 minutes and this greatly reduces the intensity of the bruise.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Stef: your post just rang a bell with me, I started taking Ester C about 2 months ago........and have noticed that the bruising has diminished a lot since I first went on Coumadin in May 03. Thanks for ringing my bell!
