Does Arthritis Cause Bruise?

I suffer with OA in my back and have noticed that I've wide spread painful bruising which never appears to go away around the lower part of my spine where the OA is at its worse..... I do also suffer with siatica as well as arthritis in the hips and wondered if the bruising is connected with the arthritis?

Thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and from the history given here I could say that arthritis does not causes bruise but this could be associated other condition and that need to be found out, collagen disease may be the reason, take care and have a nice day.
