Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm curious to know if anyone has problems with bruising. I keep getting bruises on my inner forearms. Not all the time, but every few weeks to realize that it's regular. The first bruising episode I had was when I was taking MTX (I have since changed to Sulfasalazine due to the MTX-induced hepatitis). When the bruising first happened, I went straight in to my rheumy, who did blood work, but we couldn't find a cause for it. The bruises aren't as deep as they have been, but since they are recurring, it does have me wondering if it's medication related or just part of the progression of the disease somehow. The only meds in common (before and after the MTX) have been predisone (which I'm on a gradual wean from and am now down to 5mg/day, and Lodine (which is only PRN - sometimes bruising appears when I haven't taken the Lodine). thanks! in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
