I don't bruise easily. If I'm bruised so it looks bad, it's probably bruised right to the bone. Last time I had something turn black, I had muscle mass die off from the damage. When I say "severe" bruise, I'm talking about bone bruises, etc. Not just getting banged up.
So, AFAIK, it has nothing to do with diabetes. Just has to do with me. It's probably related to the fact that I'm not really a bleeder. If I get cut, it stops bleeding very quickly. On the other hand, it takes forever to completely scar up. The latter seems to be common among people with chronically dry skin (anecdotally, at least) but the former is just me. :-) As far as cracking bones -- that *hurts*. I've cracked a rib, two bones in my right forefinger, and (I suspect) a toe. It hurt like hell every time. Of course, I'm not exactly known for my stoic pain threshhold. I'm kinda a wuss. :-) --Ben Deanna Schneider wrote: > So, if'n you don't mind me asking - is it the diabetes that makes it so that > cracking something causes great pain?
