Why will my bruise not heal?!
Question: Why will my bruise not heal.?
Five months ago, I slipped in the shower and hit my shin. I got a bump and a huge black and blue mark. The black and blue mark went away fairly quickly, but now, five months later, I still have a tender, raised lump where I hit my shin, and it's slightly discolored. What's going on.? Why hasn't it gone away.? Why is it still tender.? I'm 40. I don't have diabetes or anything like that.Health Question & Answer

If you feel weak or tired a lot you should get checked for anemia. That can also cause bruising to not heal, or to bruise easily.
Hope all is ok!
