Hello!
M/60. On May 1, I had an endoscopy after visiting a Hematologist on April 22nd for iron deficient anemia. Was given a referral to see a Gastroenterologist for an endoscopy. I had a colonoscopy nearly two years ago, and nothing was found.
On April 28th, I had an appointment with the same GI doctor that did my colonoscopy, and he was able to schedule the endoscopy for May 1st. (This was in Manhattan)
Had the procedure, but now I have two bruises on my right arm - the upper arm bruise is larger, and has lots of red spots and orange splotches. The lower arm bruise is smaller but darker and more concentrated.
Result of the endoscopy was no internal bleeding, but have gastritis and waiting for biopsies.
I'm pretty sure this was the site(s) of where the anesthesia was administered. Luckily, it doesn't hurt.
Is this normal? I don't recall if I had bruises after the colonoscopy, but it just looks weird to me. Unfortunately, I can't attach a picture.
Thanks for any info.
