Is this a symptom / side effect

[Ma123456_]

Hello, I have posted previously about numerous issues with my legs they are AGONY 24/7 now a days! I woke up the other day and had all sorts of bruises all over my legs for no reason at all no bumps no issues etc. My legs are so so puffy and spongey like I’d imagine in my head obviously to put a pin in my legs they would pour out all sorts of fluids. I’m not sure what this is and neither had my GP is this something anyone else has suffered with?

Hi Ma123456_

Do you know if any of the medication you take makes you bleed or bruise more easily? What did you GP say? Have they suggested doing a blood test? xx

Hello, blood tests done this morning as I’m exhausted all the time and just overall sore, I haven’t been taken any medication tbh and only paracetamol taken for pain as I was just wanting to be able to get a rest !

Sounds like you could be anaemic, but you'll have to see what the blood tests say. Fingers crossed you get answers soon! xxx

Hi, just wondered how your doing?, I get bruising but I’m not sure about wether it’s anemia or not, I lie with my legs up the wall and rub magnesium on them which does give a wee bit of relief.Might be worth a try?

Hey lovely, my legs get better with hot water bottles and lying in a ball. I’m not anemic but all seems even more confusing after my first lap, look at my most recent post hope you’re well x
