Bruising??

So I have been getting really bad bruising on my upper thighs for about 6 months now. They get so bad it looks like I get beat. My doctor ran blood tests and checked my red and white blood count and my platelets and everything came back normal. I am wondering if anyone else gets bad bruising for no reason. I KNOW I don't hit things and I don't take any kind of blood thinners. Also should I try and see a different doctor for a 2nd opinion? Thank you.

They checked your CBC, but did they check clotting times?

I don't think so.

Quoting CynthiaJJohnson:" I don't think so. "

If your clotting times are prolonged, it can cause you to bruise more easily, even from a simple bump.

Is there anything I can do to fix it or what not? I thought it was because I was breastfeeding but since I've stopped it seems to have gotten worse. It's just kind of starting to freak me out and I don't like walking around in shorts when I look like that.

Eat green, leafy vegetables. They contain Vitamin K. That might not be your issue. It's just a guess.
