My husband is a recovering alcoholic. After his many years of alcohol abuse and almost dieing a couple of times he is doing better. However, now he has had bleeding gums, edema and bleeding under his skin on the lower part of his legs. Also, he is easily hurt and bruised and often gets cuts on his hands and legs.. It's as if he has thin skin, plus he gets frequent nose bleeds. He is due to go back to the doctor soon, but I am wondering what info I might find here. He had the red legs and edema at his last doctor visit and the doc said the redness is from aging (he's 50), but the other problems are new. I am wondering if he may have some cellular damage from all of the years of drinking. Does anyone have any information or knowledge about this?
