Unexplained bruising and other symptoms

Carlz
Offline

Hi all, my name is Carla I'm 33, i have been having quite severe bruising appear on my legs and sometimes accompanied by swelling. This has been happening for months, i have had blood tests done and they came back fine. I am constantly exhausted and sometimes have pain in my joints etc. I am anaemic but the bruising is huge and without injury. 

 

Would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced this??

    Hello Carla, 

    I am sorry to hear you have been experiencing these issues and feeling constantly exhausted and have this unexplained bruising. It's reassuring that your blood tests came back fine but I think this needs to be looked into further by your doctor so do go back to your GP or if you feel that you are not getting anywhere, it might be worth seeking a second opinion. Do mention too that you are anaemic when you talk to your doctor about this. 

    I hope that you will hear from others here who have experienced this and that they will be along shortly to share their stories with you.

    Best wishes,
