I currently have a bruise on my arm that stings sometimes, I was just wondering what causes that. Background, I have APS, Sjogrens, Raynauds and - most likely Dermatomyositis (I take Warfarin for the APS so the doctors dont want to do the test to determine if I have it for sure). Thank You!
Hello, In your case bruise is due to the consumption of warfarin. It is quite common for people to have bruises who are on anticoagulants like warfarin. You should get your INR and PROTHROMBIN TIME checked and in case they are out of advised range, then you may need to revise the dose of warfarin. If they are normal, then there is nothing to worry. Thanks
