Vitamin B12 deficient and bruising

[Hello Kitty]

I was just wondering if anyone else has had a lot of bruising sense their surgery? I have bruises all over my legs and I'm not sure why? Could I be in need of more vitamin B12? I take sublingual daily. I do get dizzy sometimes if this helps anyone answer the question.

I believe B-12 has more to do with cognitive mental, nerve functions and making red blood cells than bleeding or bruising. Bruising is bleeding under the skin. I hope you aren't taking aspirin or NSAIDs they will cause bruising and stomach bleeds. If your problem is vitamin related; I would think vitamin C, K or zinc. You should consult your doctor or nutritionist.
