and I bruise SO EASY. The day before yesterday, I bumped my arm into the TV. I have a straight line bruise from my elbow to my knuckles, and it burns like fire. My arm is swollen along that line, and I can't stand to have it touched. I have always bruised fairly easily, but not this easily. My DH says it looks like I have been beaten. He is quite concerned about it and is asking me to go to the Dr. to ask about it. I will let you know what he has to say.
