Hello,
Lately I started having sharp pains of a couple of seconds in my legs followed by pretty nasty bruises/haematomas. First I thought it was a bruise due to bumping into something I did not remember, but now it is becoming more frequent.
Anyone experiencing the same or similar?
Many thanks
Hello wiselyfair,
For the last few days I have been having exactly the same problem - really sharp shooting pain in my foot and then a haematoma appeared out of nowhere on my shin. Never had either before. Diagnosed with SLE. Raynaud’s & Sjogrën’s 25 years ago with Sjogrën’s flare up a couple of years ago. Look forward to hearing if others can shed any light on the cause and/or prevention of this.

I get these too! I went through a patch where they were really frequent but haven’t had one in a while now. Not sure what I’ve done differently though to make them stop.
Anyone with Lupus should be tested for The antibodies for APS as around a third of people will have them. If that’s the case you may need to take something like a baby aspirin daily but I’d discuss this with your Dr as is the case with any new symptom.
I get this too but on my feet. Sharp pain that lasts a few minutes and then bam a massive black bruise but no more pain .
I have APS too. I showed my GP it once and she wasn’t phased at all.
Get tested for APS .
anti phospholipid syndrome or Hughes syndrome .
Yes just as Tiredmum says named after Professor Hughes based at the London Lupus Centre. I have met him!
