About three days ago I started to notice that I had quite a few red marks on my leg. Then when my two yr old son touched my leg it resulted in a bruise very shortly afterwards. By that evening I had major massive bruises all over my leg. Atleast 50+ and some as big as an apple.
So I got worried and went to the ER as I normally dont bruise easily. So they did bloodwork and it came back normal. They really didnt know how to explain it at all, especially the fact it was only on one leg. So I saw my family doctor and he too has no idea what it could be from, my platlets were fine, I am not low on iron or anything else. So I am not bruising as badly anymore but my leg still looks absolutely horrible. People actually stare. I am still not comfortable because I never really got an explanation as to why it happened.
However since I have seen my doc and had bloodwork there isnt anything else I can do. I saw a naturopath and she told me to take more vitamin C. Has anyone here ever suddenly started bruising more than usual? I dont want to worry about it but its hard not too.
