Lyrica And Cymbalta Cause Blood Spots?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Sarasota, FL

I am on Lyrica & Cymbalta. I also have spinal stenosis and scoliosis. I have blood spots on my arms and legs from whenever I rub up against a corner, shelf (when putting stuff away), and carrying anything over my arm (like a purse). My bloodwork came back fine. Anybody have answers on this issue?

I am on Lyrica and Cymbalta for years and yes I bruise easily. Also, as you age your skin gets thinner so bruising is my reality.

You can just barely put pressure on my skin and it will do the same.not on medication but age is my reason. Meds can cause a lot of bruises.
