What Causes Pain In Leg And Bruise Behind The Knee?
Was at er couple weeks ago with chest pain. After some test found out heart is great. Found out I have hypothyroidism. They also thought I had blood clot in leg because of some blood work. I was and still am having leg pain. It comes and goes but is worse when I am on my feet. I also woke up with a big bruise behind my knee. Leg is swollen just a bit. Should I seek medical attention? Oh doctors did ultrasound and didn't find a clot.

hi
hypothyroidism itself is a cause for all the pains, generalised weakness
this bruise can be due to some unknown trauma what may be unnoticed
please check for your sugar & blood pressure levels
keep the limb elevated when you are resting or lying
application of crepe bandage will do wonders by increasing the bloodsupply
if not reduced please meet an orthopaedician or a surgeon for further evaluation
take care
