How much bleeding can one expect while on Eliquis?

A heavy chair fell on my foot on January 18. It’s purple green and I believe red in color. It’s not supposed to be broken but it’s painful still. Should one still have new bleeding and new bruises after this length of time?

No way you're still bleeding almost two weeks later. Deep bruises can take weeks to go away, especially on the lower extremities. I had a hematoma after my first ablation that left a huge bruise that covered almost my entire thigh. That bruise took 2-3 months to vanish.

Honestly, Eliquis doesn't prolong bleeding all that much. Aspirin is far worse.

I care less about the cosmetic rainbow of purple to green bruises. It matches my pond’s algae green or “the hulk” skin color. It seems the hematoma gets redder when disturbed. I’m supposed to wear compression stockings and the act of taking them off I feel is causing new bruises. I posted this Eliquis concern because I will be having major surgery on my gallbladder (if I get clearance because of the PVCs) and with any major surgery there is bleeding...even more on Eliquis.

Major surgery is definitely a different issue than bruises and will have to involve your surgeon and EP working together to agree on a protocol. Eliquis really doesn't prolong bleeding all that long, but when we're talking surgery "all that long" changes scope. Rest assured that your foot hasn't been bleeding since about 10 minutes after the chair fell on your foot.
