BRUSING??????

I am just wondering if anyone on tamoxifen has noticed they bruise easily or more?
I had a nasty fall today whilst working ( long story) but have thi bruise behind my knee. My daughter was horrified when she saw it. I have applied an ice pack but wondered why it is i bruise so easily.

Hi Liverbird,

I have been on tamoxifen for 13 months now and seem to bruise more easily. I sometimes get bruises and don’t know where they’ve come from - just a yellow splodge appears.
Have not questioned this and don’t think too much about it!
Hope we get an answer.

Yes I have noticed bruises and think where did that come from!

Snap, the slightest tap seems to bring out a bruise and I’ve noticed an awful lot of “spider” veins lately. I know I didnt have these before I was diagnosed.

I can also agree with you there, I seem to get them and I don’t know where from.

Yes Liverbird I bruise v easily now. I have been on Tamoxifen for 18 months. I mentioned it to my BCN who gave me a blood test. My platelet levels were 220 and I was told that that was normal. I think it is just a Tamoxifen thing.

Love

Wow…you’re right !!

I have never linked my bruises with Tamoxifen. Another mystery solved.

Yes - I definately bruise more easily since been taking Tamoxifen (4 months now).
