The pain is caused by tissue damage and if the bruising, which is bleeding under the skin, is caused by a minor knock or is spontaneous, then there is no tissue damage to hurt.

Ha - that was how my husband would test my counts. He'd press on the bruise and if I said "ouch", he would know my count was good. Not a very reliable method, but it worked for him.

my kids do that too! How about a freakishly large bump that is slowly bruising and I don't know how it got there? I guess it's a good thing I'm going for a count tomorrow.

Thanks all for your replies.

Most of the time my bruises are painless so I suppose its spontaneous.
I guess its spontaneous due to lower platelet count:unsure:
or could it be spontaneous due to some other reasons?

If counts are low, that would be it. It should correspond.
