[|Human|] Several months ago I would get a pain in my right leg and maybe a day after brusies would show up, this went on for about 3 months.  The leg pain stopped for maybe a month and now my right are was paining me and I have 2 litte red bruises.  What could be wrong?
[|AI|]  Dear patient thank you for your question. Here are a few causes of spontaneous bruising and some tips to help you figure out what you might have1) Blood disorder:a. On Willy Brandt disease/ Hemophilia: A blood disorder due to lack of coagulation factors. It results in spontaneous bruising and is easy to rule by a simple blood test called COAGULATION PROFILE.b. Thrombocytopenia: Low platelet count can result in such symptoms. A coagulation profile will help to diagnose this condition as well. Leukemia: My intention is not to scare u but practically speaking it is a possibility especially if u feel fatigued and have bone pain or headaches. Please get a complete blood profile done2) Liver disorders of your coagulation factors come from your Liver hence a Liver disorder mostly cirrhosis can result in such symptoms. Get an LFT done. Yellowing of your eyes/jaundice may hint at a Liver disease however it is not a rule3) Vitamin deficiency: Vitamin C and b12 deficiency can result in bruising as well. The test is time-consuming and expensive so just take a multivitamin tablet every day and see how u feel after 2 weeks4)Graces disease: This is a thyroid disorder and may be accompanied by excessive sweating feeling hot increase appetite yet wt loss. A thyroid profile is warranted. More common in females5) Excessive medication/ Injury: If you are taking any medication please read the label to see if hematoma or bruising is a mentioned side effect.Also, if you go to the gym or run a lot this can happen strongly urge you to discuss this with your go and reach a diagnosis. In the meantime for your pain here is what you can do1) Ibuprofen 800 mg twice a day2) Cold compression over the bruising3) Elevation of the leg while sitting down Hope this helped.
