When I had my son, I pushed so hard in the delivery room that I busted just about every blood vessel in my face. I looked at first like Howdy Doody until they went purple and then everyone thought I had the pox of some sort. They faded and healed within a week but that shows you how easy it really is to break a blood vessel.

I have to agree with that. It's like people think that you have to drink or be outside a lot to have broken blood vessels, but that really isn't true.

Wow, I really didn't know bruises were considered broken blood vessels too. Makes sense when you think about it though, especially when you think about how you get them sometimes.

Dear Gina,

Obviously I cannot give you any medical diagnosis about why your body is experiencing ruptured blood vessels.
If your Dermatologist really thinks it may be liver involvement, then you need to ask him/her what you should do to
follow up to check this. If in fact your liver is not up to par, this is something you should take seriously and work to improve.
There are many reasons why blood vessels can rupture. While everyone is different and any excessive trauma will
obviously break blood vessels, certain people may have excessive tendencies which cause weakened blood vessel walls.
Some very simple nutritional deficiences which may be at the heart of this problem include: not having enough
bioflavonoids in your diet. Bioflavanoids occur naturally in union with vitamin C, and are often plentiful in citrus fruits and
many other vegetables. The white pulp in citrus fruits is actually full of bioflavanoids. One of the prime functions of
these nutrients is to strengthen the outer walls of blood vessels. This alone may help prevent abnormal rupturing of vessels and
subsequent bruising. You should also check out a homeopathic cell salt called Calcium Flouride. This is very safe to take
and helps to recreate elasticity throughout the body. Improved elasticity can help prevent blood vessel walls from rupturing so
easily. I hope this helps.

I Have had trauma to my feet and legs from pass abuse
and was wondering if blood vessels could be broken
the pain been going on for four to five years now
and the symptoms are

Pain
Tingling
Numbness
Burning sensation
Cramps
the blood vessels in them
feel like popping
and it hurts after

I can't walk good once in awhile
and they get stiff

When I began riding my horse bareback, I found that it had caused hideous vessel breakage over a large part of my upper thighs. It has now been several months and there has been no change in the damaged area's appearance. I was wondering if there are alternative methods of treating the breakage? (message, heat treatments??) I don't have the funds to pay for laser or injection treatments.
