My husband has been on Plavix for 15 years due to medicated stents, He bruises so easily like you basically arms and hands. He is in the hospital right now and from the iv and blood draws he is a mess with the blue marks. Rarely does he not have the bruises..

Sorry for just getting back with you all. I got a new lap top about 10 days ago and I am trying to get use to it.
About three weeks ago when I was up in the mtns. fishing I steped in a deep hole and fell on my left side. Of course I bleed like the stuck pig. Everything healed. My left thigh hurt pretty bad but It didn't bruse. Then about 10 days ago I noticed I was bleeding internally down into my knee joint. I got swolan and very black.
went back to the dr. and he took me off the Plavix. He didn't know I had stopped the week before because of all the bkeeding and brusing that I have had for the last year.
He put me on Dipyridamole and Asprin. Does anyone know anything about this drug. He said it use to be used before Plavix. Problem is it is so old it's taking the pahramcy a week to get it in.
Going back in to Urgent Care tomorrow to have my leg looked at. Very Black and Brusied. What worries me is a Black line running down from my knee south.
