Looks like my lifelong goal of having bruise free arms for the summer is in vain this year. I have always been plagued with deep, dark bruises that pop up every now and then. I have been getting better at minimizing the bruising incidents so I look less like a beaten child and my hopes continue that one day I won't have to worry about bruising like a banana. That day will not come soon.
One side effect of my allergy shots is bruising at the injection site. The bruises range in size and color depending on the dosage I am given, but they are quite noticeable and there's not much I can do about it. Ice packs are available at the doctors office but I am saving those for the pain, burning, itching, and swelling that will no doubt grace me as I continue through my treatment. After all, I can tough it out for now. I am still early in the treatment. I'll just have to give up on the thought of having beautiful arms and stock up on my bruise minimizing arnica ointment.
