Bruises

[Bishop1]

Happy New Year to ye all. Ankles started swelling on New year's eve and last night developed big bruises in my 2legs. Should I increase Fruesomide to 40 my from 20 mg. Any advice welcome. Thanks x

I would call 111 and get advice from a medic, just in case this is a DVT.

I would still call 111, it is better to be safe than sorry!

The bruising is not normal. As suggested ring 111.

Dear Bishop1

Why would you think that after all you have been through that you have turned into a Dr/ specialist?

Bruising just appearing is not right, and playing with your water tablets could be worse.

Please contact 111 / heart team { mine is on duty } and get help

Contact a medical professional about this, also take photos of the bruises incase they disappear before someone checks them.

Take care.

Like the photo taking idea, that never crossed my mind
