All the time! Sometimes it starts as an itch, then turns into a painful rash, then a bruise that stays for a long time, other times bruises just show up, I don't even remember bumping into anything! My legs look awful!

If you're taking Warfarin / Coumadin to prevent clotting, this is a very common side effect.

Yes, I get large unexplained bruises. I went to my PCP for this once and he said I have "capillary fragility". I think it's just my body.
