Legs and arms started bruising after treatment. Was taking hydroxyurea twice a day, now one a day. Blood test once a week. Waiting to see hemotologist next month. Skin burning and itchingq. Feel unwell.

I have had bruising on my arms and legs too. When I asked my oncologist about it he said it was probably from my medications that I take. I have been on Xeralto for years since having a dvt (blood clot) in my leg and then 6 years later I had a stroke (minor one). Now since being diagnosed with PV a few months after that in Sept 2021 he also started me on 81 mg of aspirin daily as well as the hydroxy urea. I hope this info helps you but that is all I know about it. My oncologist has been monitoring my blood counts monthly and now blood counts every 2 months because first they were too high and then too low until we got just the perfect dosage for me and my counts are where he wants them.

I'm exactly the same, always bruises on arms or legs, I assumed it was linked to my illness.
