I have had FMS for about 16 years and it affects my whole body. For the last 3-6 months, I've been finding bruises on my arms, legs ankles, wrists, just about anywhere, but don't know how I got them, even though some of the bruising has been painful & quite large. Can you please tell me if this just another symptom or something else? I don't want to bother my doctor or use take an appointment that someone else may really need.

Unexplained bruising should always be investigated, so you have every reason to go straight to your doctor.

Whether it's related to the fibromyalgia or not makes no odds - you shouldn't be bruising for no reason.

Best wishes
