What causes and how can I stop bleeding under the skin on my forearms?

[rosey1957]

I have had these blotches for about 3 years now. They get worse and then better but never go away. Sometimes they just start bleeding ( if I accidently scrape one ) It only takes very slight pressure. They are discoloring my skin. I have had 3 doctors look at it but they really don't seem to care much. They have taken blood tests but they do not understand how hard this is for me. I live in Denver Colorado so long sleeves are really not an option. I am also concerned that they may be related to the very painful cramps I get in my legs. these are much worse than cramps they feel like deep twisting of my veins. I have taken to wearing support hose ( which I had to try myself as the doctors said my blood panel looked good and left me with the problem). These cramps cause my toes to splay and sometimes I can't wear my shoes. I have to use the socks and a good massager to ease the spasm. I am not a healthy person and I don't know why. I do have fibromyalgia and advanced copd so I am on oxygen. I had boop bronchial obstructional operating pneumonia about 10 years ago and I am an pneumonia magnet . I do take my pneumonia shot every year. My first case of pneumonia was when I was 6. I usually get pneumonia every other year although the shots have helped I didn't start getting them until I was 50. I take a flu shot every year.I take 10 mgs of generic flexeril to stop my muscles from cramping I take these 3 times a day. They do occur mainly at night. I have had ischemic colitis. My other health concerns are severe arthritis in the joints of my hands knees ankles and back. I am scheduled to have my right thumb replaced at the end of Aug. I have regular shots in these joints. The other joint replacements will follow. I have gerd very bad . this has led to barts esophagus. I have a upper GI every 3 years to check for cancer so for It has been alright. I realize this is a lot but I would appreciate any help. I do go to the doctor regularly. I have Kaiser insurance.  I hope you can help me.  Thank you
