Thin blood does not hurt your platelets.
One of the ways of thinning the blood involves taking a small dose of aspirin each day. The aspirin binds to a part of the platelet and turns it's ability to become "sticky" off so the platelet tends not to bind to other platelets and form a clot.
This is an effective way to prevent strokes and heart attacks.
The platelets affected in this way are not particularly useful, though. But they get replaced by more platelets and if you wish the platelet function to be normal again you need to stop the aspirin and enough platelets will be made to eventually restore platelet function.

I assume you mean PLATELETS? If so, they have no nerves, so how can they hurt?
