Painful bruise on forearm

Please don't tell me to call my doctor - I don't have one in this area, just moved here a few weeks ago. I will be calling to get established next week.
I have a bruise on my forearm about 1 inch below the antecubital fossa. It spontaneously appeared 2 weeks ago, is about 1 inch long and wide (not exactly circular). Normally, my bruises heal VERY quickly and are gone in 3 days or so - this is around for 2 weeks now and hurts - the pain is constant although rather low level.
I am not on a blood thinner and do not take aspirin products. The only med I take is a thyroid replacement pill every day.
I'm not a wimp, and I'm not asking for sympathy or sarcasm but since this is a new occurrence for me, I'm wondering whether I should mention it to the doctor's office when I set up my establishment appointment.
P.S.: I had a sister with leukemia, undiagnosed until after she bled to death.
Thanks for any information you care to share.

Of course it's painful (sm)
Having needles poked into your skin tends to be painful. It's worst over bone, though. See link for the most comprehensive and honest FAQ I know of concerning tattooing. One idea I liked -- use a Sharpie to draw your design and live with it for a few days/weeks to see if you really like it.
I've a nice purple dancing bear on my ankle.
Yes. It was a little painful but had great
results. I started seeing the most improvement after my 4th treatment.
painful knees
 I know this is not a doctor's office, but was wondering if any one is having trouble with their knees and if anyone has any advice. From sitting in a chair with my knees bent, they are really starting to kill me. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I have had Lymes Disease and it might be a flair-up of the fibromyalgia. It is also in my spine. I really think I need to start walking and exercising.
not painful and very quick procedure but...sm
But......a person needs multiple sessions and that's where it gets very expensive. The plastic surgeons I work for did it and the one who does not own the practice charged me 50%. I went twice and didn't go back and yes, the chin hairs recurred. It is nonpainful and fast procedure FYI.
Painful fingers from typing
I experience sore, aching fingers each day from typing. Because of this, I cannot do more than 1000 lines a day. Ibuprofen helps somewhat. I do not know what is wrong. The knuckles appear a bit enlarged and upon waking in the morning each finger appears swollen. I am a thin person. I wear fleece gloves with no fingers all day while typing for warmth. This is more than just an annoyance but rather something that gets bad enough that I have trouble concentrating on typing because all I can think of is the pain. The doctor I saw was no help at all. Anyone else having this problem?
I agree my painful is shameful...
But as far as being full-time MTs in this area with benefits and being paid hourly this is "good". Yep, that's how badly this profession is going down the tubes.
The only place I can work other than this and make more money with benefits is the hospital and they expect even more production from you, with harder jobs that I am not experienced with.
I took the paycut becuase I get to work from home (they released me to work from after one year).
Any suggestions for painful hands/wrists from typing?
My hands are always freezing cold. I wear fleece "wristies" to keep warmer. I have pain in both hands all day from typing. One wrist has a ganglion, and both wrists have some arthritis showing on x-ray. I rub capsaisin on hands/wrists. Still the pain persists. Pain relievers (Advil, etc.) do not help much. Prescriptions from doctors did nothing.
I was wondering if other heavy typers out there might have found some helpful things to alleviate hand/wrist pain. I even purchased "warming cream" which is supposed to help increase circulation to the hands, but it did nothing. I have several keyboards that I have tried also.
THanks!
i have telangiectasia on face. laser treatment - very painful...but works
what could be more unsightly that broken veins on the face? well, lucky me, i have them. eveyr few years go in for treatment. electrical zaps to destroy broken blood vessel. Hurts like the dickens though. Can't use pain relievers because it causes constriction of blood vessels, they told me.
My ankle pops. It's not painful, but occasionally it will get stiff and then pop very loudly.
