    If you were someones pet I would think about rodentacide poisoning .:smile: Did you take anything after your work out for pain? Asprin ( as I sure everyone knows can cause bleeding) but so can other NSAIDs.

    Watch carefully for any other odd brusings as unknown platelet problems ( too low or not working correctly) ,and even liver diseases can cause bleeding tendencys.

    Maybe a burst blood vessel from lifting too much?

    This happens to a girl i work with. She thought she was just holding her arms to hard when supporting them. She tired different exercises for arms and she still gets them.. She does not know why though.

    strange. Maybe do some googling and see what you find. Maybe a torn muscle? I would also consider (but not freak out about) the possibility of some other unknown issue going on w/ inability to properly clot blood (i.e. bleeding like from asprin) or liver problem, etc. Should probably mention it to a doctor.

    Thank you for your responses.

    I know I did not injure the muscle - just normal DOMS today.

    I potentially have low iron, and that could explain it. But I talked with my mom (an RN for 30+ years) and she thinks it is probably blown capillaries from the heavier lifting I did. I will see if it continues to happen and see a doc if it does.

    Thanks again!
