This happened to me for the first time nearly 6 years ago. My middle right finger turned purple then black and was throbbing so much that it used to wake me up. After persuasion from 3 friends I made an appointment at our GP surgery to see a nurse. She called in a GP who asked for a full blood count - and 2 days later I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia. The bruised middle finger is back again, but this time I know my blood counts are OK as I had a test last week and am still in remission.
So.... don't automatically dismiss such symptoms but get them checked. If I hadn't I wouldn't be here today!
