I recently posted a photo of my dd's massive bruise that I worried about but since then I have been worried about mine.
I went camping a few weeks ago and came home with a big-ish yellow bruise on my leg, I put it down to knocking it somehow. A week later I had another two yellow bruises at the back of my leg.
This week I have started cycling for the first time ever and have been doing training which has included a lot of physical work. I woke up today with a bruise on the inside of my leg, a yellow one, and another tiny one on my calf. It seems like for the last few weeks I always have one or two bruises.
They are always on my legs, none on my arms or back.
As I have HA I am of course thinking the worst. I don't want to keep rushing to the dr's for anything because they are probably sick of seeing me. So I wondered how bad bruises should really be before you go to the GP. I am definitely getting more bruises than normal recently, but they aren't the nasty looking ones. I have seen blood cancer bruises and they don't look the same, but that was quite a late stage blood cancer. My children recently lost their dad to it, so I'm extra worried it is what I have, although I have no other symptoms.
