Hi, I have had a problem with discoloration and bleeding on my forearms for approximately four years. First noticed when my sholder bag (heavy) slipped off of my sholder and hit my forearm. Next up was bleeding without knowing I was doing so. I couldn t bump into anything without causing myself to bleed. I am not a vain person but I DO have Diabetes, Fibtroymyalgia, hypothytoidism, and arthritis. and when my largest organ starts making holes for germs to enter it makes me very nervous. Thanks, JR PR I stopped taking Cymbalta after my doctors and I went over the pain relief cmpared to it s bleed factor.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you are diabetic there is always a possibility of the bleeding to not stop. Tying the compression bandage to stop bleeding and stopping blood thinner for hypertension should work. Also, you need to be careful with the wound healing, as wound healing will be delayed in diabetic. Also, for your arthritic and fibromyalgia pain undergoing physical therapy should work well. You should be always conscious with your blood glucose levels as it should be always into control. As due to non-controlling of the blood glucose levels any smallest injury will lead to major symptoms. For skin discoloration you need to wait as it will go slowly. Due to high blood glucose levels the healing is slightly delayed. With proper care the recovery is expected Chat Doctor.
