For the past while i get hurt super easily like my daughters almost 2 and if she hit me itd hurt or if i get an itch it hurts so bad to scratch it i gota cringe in pain for a min till it goes away and i get bruises randomly but nuthin that bad.. but ive been to my Dr and all he says it "Well stop letting ppl hit you! haha" and i got blood work done and im low iron and i heard that can cause bruising but does it cause sensitivity and pain? im worried and my Dr still wont take it seriously.. am i just being silly?
Do you think it's normal?

could be fibromyalgia, could be Ehlers-Danlos, your dr is an idiot
i think its all in your head try to think like a man have manly thoughts be strong mentaly i think it all in your head
Angelbaby1980 is right, the most likely cause i can think of is fibromyalgia.
My mother actually suffers from this disease, and the things you wrote are some of the exact things she's been through... Many doctors actually dont believe that this disease exists, because there are often no signs of the disease other than the bruises that appear. You're not a hypochondriac, and you shouldnt take that sort of ignorance from your doctor.
There are tender spots on your body that fibromyalgia attacks... Doctors can test to see if you have this disease by putting some pressure on those spots.
The way my mother was diagnosed was that she brought in a detailed list of her symptoms, and suggested a few different causes.
There is treatment, so i suggest getting it checked. it could make a world of a difference.
hope you feel better soon.

Get a diff dr!
hmmm ive asked the other Dr that sometimes comes in and she was like umm thats called having a low pain tollerance..stop worrying... so i havent asked another Dr since cuz they think im crazy haha but i still get hurt easily and its usually on my back and legs it hurts the most or maybe thats where i bump into things most haha
Not very respectful on your Dr's part. See another. Switch.
these doctors sound like they're not very professional.
I just fell upon this question - and I automatically connected with you. I've had the exact same thing for probably 2 years now. My legs, arms and torso, almost everything is extremely sensitive to the touch. If I scratch myself, or bump into something it's an intense pain on the surface of the skin that takes awhile to subside - It's brief but so painful. I asked friends and family who laugh too! It's not funny, it hurts like crazy; I have no clue what it is...
