I currently take the weekly Avonex injections in my thighs, rotating legs each week. Lately I have had some pretty sever bruising on my legs and I don't remember hitting them etc. It appears that I am bruising much easier and I am wondering if this may be related to either the injections or MS? Anyone else experiencing the same?
I take copaxone 40mg 3x a week. Not only do they hurt like *insert really ugly. Word here*, but I look like I am an abused wife from all the bruising.
I currently take the new 40mg Copaxone...it bruises me too. The 20mg sometimes did. And when I took Rebif, that gave me bruises too. I am actually considering changing meds because of it, but am nervous to do so. Been on Copaxone for years, some relapses, but would hate to mess up a good track record by switching...
Hello, I also take avonex in the auto injector pen.
I haven't had any brusing, but i have lots of fat deposits. Several in my arms which I had for a while but now noticing them more in my legs.
when i was on avonex my legs had brusies on them all the time arms as well not that i am on rebiff it is like that just not as bad as long as i move around i am moving to extra areas now so it helps i hope this helps any to you
I am so glad that I found this post. I just noticed some bruising on my leg and had no idea how it got there. I take Copaxone 20mg and this is the first time in 2 years that this has happened. I am glad to know this is just another MS annoyance.
