Thank you Racjen  :) - interesting & reassuring for many ladies I suspect, but can't explain mine, as it goes back years before starting HRT @ 3-years postmenopause when my oestrogen was tested & found to be too low to measure.  The easy bruising has continued during a long period off HRT too.

Yes I suffer with burst veins the first time was years ago and my friends called it a Smurf finger ;D went to the GP and he said the blood vessel had burst but nothing to worry about. Then they started coming back and not always on the same finger but it's the numbness I hate. I also suffer with fingers going very white & so very cold or purple when I mentioned it to my GP she said it could be Raynard's.

Wrensong, Achenbach's Syndrome appears to be one of those things that no-one can explain - all they know is it tends to happen in middle-aged women and it's not anything to worry about....No idea who Achenbach was, a bloke no doubt  ;D

I too have found this so carried a shopping bag which has strong handles and a couple of time it pinged and finger swelled went blue. Gp said just blood vessels breaking and nothing to worry about. Started evorel sequi happend during estrogen part. It really panicked me. Sounds common

It's a relief to see these posts. I was beginning to worry it was something sinister.

One of the best things about the forum, Hvenab - sharing can bring us much needed reassurance.  The solidarity on this site is fab.  So many lovely women with so much wisdom, experience, empathy & support - invaluable at what can be a really unnerving & difficult time of our lives.  A brilliant idea to set it up.  :)
