What Causes Cramps Along With Bruising On The Legs?

Hi, I had leg cramps 3 weeks ago after an extreme ride in a theme park. My leg still hurts/feels numb, especially if I m not moving it. Last week, I started to notice bruises just below the affected leg. The first bruise has gone, but new bruises are appearing. Could this be related to the cramps I recently had?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cramps along with bruising on the legs . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like peripheral neuropathy , varicose vein , allergic reaction , multiple sclerosis , wernicke syndrome , low blood iron level and vitamin B 12 deficiency . There can be other reasons also like blood clot and disc problem . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor will take history , examine physically and order blood test . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory along eith iron and vitamin B 12 supplement .For now put your legs in hot water tub with one spoon of salt for 15 minutes. Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for disc problem . You can also keep your legs in hot water tub for 15 minutest daily and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
