My legs hate me.

[saviourseph]

WTF is going on with my legs these last few days? At first it was just a few mysterious bruises that I attributed to me thrashing about in my sleep; now there's a huge black bruised lump on my right calf that's pretty painful. Also I managed to cut my knee on my pants earlier (I'm wearing zip-off cargo pants and the zip managed to scrape me when I sat down)  and the cut's decided to do the red spiky pattern and dull ache thing.

I swear, I should wear cricket pads 24/7...

I bruise my legs on a regular basis here lately too, only around the sides of my knees though. ...And mostly on my right one. Dark, ugly colored bruises sometimes. But it's due to the sharp corners of the trunk at the foot of my bed that I bump into due to Mat's computer chair. Now that we no longer have the trunk this problem should hopefully stop.

If it continues to happen to you and doesn't seem normal I'd see a doctor.

I think a doctor's visit would be a good idea, actually - as well as the mysterious bruising I've lost quite a lot of weight recently (around 2 stone in a couple of months) for no discernible reason. I'm happy about the weight loss but yeah - it's strange.

That's quite a bit to lose without reason. It may be due to medication (same with the bruising)? Sometimes the side effects of medicines are scarier than the reasons you're on them.
