Bruising: Oh, I feel your pain. Heavy lifting, moving clumsy/large items leaves you at risk for local trauma. It doesn't necessarily have to hurt much at the time, but over the following few days the damage can be seen in the form of bruising. Are you on any meds that impair you bloods clotting ability? NSAIDs/Aspirin? If so, they may be contributing to what seems like excessive bruising.
