Mysterious bruising on legs?!
Question:
Mysterious bruising on legs?
does anyone know why that happens? I always have bruises on my legs and I have no idea what from!!!!
Usually its just random but I think the reason I am all brused up now MIGHT be from working out. I worked out the other day and am really sore from it and I woke up with 2 HUGE bruises, 1 small bruise.
Answers:
any chance you might be anemic?
if this happens frequently-you might have anemia (low iron in blood). bruising is a common side effect
or if you are fair skinned-you might just be one of those people that bruise easily. my youngest daughter is a redhead and has really fair skin-she has bruises on her legs from bumping into stuff all the time.
if you're concerned and it's happening often-make an appt to see your dr. he/she can rule out the anemia w/a simple bloodtest and if you have it-it's easily treatable w/over the counter iron tablets
