Bruising on arms/legs

This is what happened to me after Pfizer. I’m having the same bruising you are describing and same results with bloodwork!

Everything is “normal” but this doesn’t look “normal” to me 🙁

You aren’t alone!

This bruising makes no sense. I’ve had Covid twice and had the first 2 Covid shots since my job required it (teacher and pharmacy tech) and just started appearing after my 2nd Covid infection. My blood work is all normal but something is clearly wrong. I have never bruised like this for no reason before and the bruises are so painful. All doctors I have gone to say nothing is wrong and I just leave more depressed because I know something is. I’ve been an avid excised my entire life and used to run half marathons but now I can hardly do anything because when I did try to workout once, I woke up the next day with so many bruises I looked like I had gotten beat up.

Same! I have long Covid and I get bruises out of nowhere.

Wow, those do not look good. I have had the same issue with easy bruising, but thought it was because I have taken blood thinners in the past (2018-2019-for 13 months). Mine arise from an actual "bump into something, or scrape" I have purchased sleeves to cover my arms when I am doing any yard work, and another pair to wear in the house. My dermatologist prescribed from a compound pharmacy a "dream cream".. It helps when the bruises leave my skin brown, but not the actual read/purple marks. I also use Bio Oil. I try everything possible. These bruises are very unsightly. Covid has left so many of us with a variety of issues. Will it ever end?

This looks exactly like my skin after I had COVID. I even had a pretty severe skin tear. Not sure it’s because of COVID (which I had in Jan, 2023), or a steroid rinse & spot I’m taking for an autoimmune condition I have.

Same - had Covid once and two Moderna shots per work mandate - last month had bruises all over arms and back. Now all over legs and hips.

After Moderna Covid Shots (2), and Moderna Booster - I have developed bruising on my arms and legs. I am currently waiting on blood test results (2nd time from yet another Hematologist/Onocolgist), after going to Internist, Vascular Surgeon, Autoimmune Rheumatolgist, Dermatologist, and Endocrinologist. My blood levels have previously come back normal. A picture is worth a thousand words (and many tears that I have shed). Any insight or direction will be greatly appreciated.

Oh no! What does your primary MD say?? Does it hurt??

At a loss. Has referred me to all the drs indicated in post. Yes, legs and arms are tender to the touch. Thank you.

Update on my Jan 4th 2023 posting:
I'm still alive. I was pessimistic about my prospects when the anemia became almost totally debilitating and I could barely take care of myself. Attaching photos of bruising, June of 2022; bruising had been worse prior to the photos. Spring 2023 Benign Hematology specialist couldn't determine a cause but prescribed a series of phlebotomies to reduce my iron levels which were high despite the anemia. That seemed to help with at least some of the symptoms. Bruising has stopped, anemia has reduced and I have visits for bloodwork every couple months to monitor it now. I'm being extra careful with my diet, vitamins, minerals, exercise, that seems to have contributed to having more energy.
I mentioned to 3 doctors my suspicion that the bruising and anemia were vaccine related but the hematologists didn't seem to want to discuss it, even when I had printouts of articles of similar cases, FYI. It felt like they had "orders" to not discuss such possibilities. Just sayin'. Not surprisingly I will NOT be getting any more boosters.
