Hi @mothertheresa3 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We’re a community based forum of members just like you who come together to share their stories and experiences to help each other out but we can’t diagnose or offer treatments.

You sure do have a lot of bruising going on. Considering this is Post-covid and post-vaccine, have you had a CBC (complete blood count) to test your blood. We’ve had several members reporting that following having Covid or the vaccine that their hemoglobin (red blood count) and iron levels have dropped causing anemia. Anemia can be a cause of unexplained and frequent bruising,
Have you felt more tired that usual?

Yes, I have had bloodwork done. No signs of anemia, but component IRON results are little higher than normal range.
ALT (SGPT) high range
