Can Bruise Arise Because Of Nerve Irritation?
Recently had a discectomy @ L4 L5 and today noticed a nickel sized bruise on the upper part of left calf. I now w/out doubt it is not the result of a bump. It s not sore. I have lots of nerve irritation in my left leg, could this bruise be stemming from the irritation?
