A member asked:
Been getting bruises all over my legs since methotrexate injections. (have 8 small bruises on thigh). last platelet count was normal. normal bruising?

Doubt an issue: Are you also on Prednisone or nsaids? That could explain your bruising. If your platelets are normal, there should be no issue with continuing the methotrexate.
