What Causes Bruising Around The Joints?
My hands bruise easily around the joints, sometimes just gripping something or clapping loudly can cause bruising. I am a 50 year old male but this has been happening for several years now. The bruising is initially painful but they go away reasonably quickly. What can be causing this?

Hello! Thank you for writing! I hope to do my best to be as helpful as I can for you. I want through your query and understand your concern. If you bruise easily first of all do some test: number of thrombocytes, aPTT, PT, coagulation time, in order to see if you have a blood disorder and also consult a hematologyst.
Best regards. Thank you.
