What Causes Spreading Large Bruise On Inner Thigh And Leg Sore?
I have an unexplained large bruise on my inner thigh. It has spread to about three inches across since it started as a hard lump about 3 days ago. In color and shape it looks very much like the bruises I got at the sites of the heparin and Lovenox injections I had to take while pregnant. I took those due to miscarriage pattern and the presence of Lupus anticoagulant and MTHFR in my bloodwork. It is purple- black the center lump seems to be smaller but still present and the general bruise does not seem to be improving. It does have some green around the edges as though the periphery is fading. Oh, the center has a distinct red dot-- like a pimple. The new symptom is that my leg is atad sore and seems a little bit like it might be falling asleep. Should I race to the ER or can i wait to show a doc in the morning, I am traveling with my baby and at ahotel in a strange city tonight!

the bruise as you described is green at edges, it means it is fading,you can show it in the morning,
