I am getting bruises very easily since a month or 2. Asked my LLMD, so they tested for my Platelets and the count is normal.

I also have the bone pain between my knee and ankles.

I don't know why I am getting the bruises and the bone pain. Is this Lyme or something else.

If you are bruising easily, consider getting your ferritin level checked, and also see what your RDW count is. COULD be a sign of Babesia.

I bruise extremely easily too. My black and blue patches aren't caused by anything -- I haven't bumped into furniture or fallen, etc.

Rather, they spontaneously appear. I have gotten them for years on all parts of my body including my arms, legs, both knee caps, tops and bottoms of my feet, fingers, etc.

A lot of times they occur in an exact rectangular or square shape, but not always.

My LLMD attributes them to Bartonella.
