I have recently been knocked and battered about while sailing. My legs, arms and back are covered in deep purple bruises, with more appearing each day. Im feeling very tender and tired. I was wondering if there are any side effects to having so many deep painful bruises, other than the obvious pain.

The simple fact that you have the bruises would not cause you to be tired. However, the physical activity that caused the bruises can certainly wear you out and probably has fatigued your muscles. That said, there are some conditions that have the symptoms of excessive or easily bruising and fatigue. But you know where your bruises came from and have a valid reason for them. I suggest an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or aspirin, and plenty of rest and fluids to keep you hydrated. You should be feeling better soon!
