Hello. I just noticed a discoloration of my upper, outside thigh this morning. Along the front border, it is a smooth rounded line, but it is jagged and fades a bit along the borders of the back side with is almost all the way around the back of my thigh. I ve had no injury there, but recently had an injection in both my hip joints in an effort to help reduce pain and tenderness. I am on narcotic pain medications, many vitamins and supplements, and Cymbalta and Ritalin. I occasionally take about .25 mg of Klonopin for Anxiety. This doesn t not look like a bruise. It is very translucent and appears deeper than a typical bruise. It also doesn t seem to be tender or painful. I believe it has expanded in size through the course of the day, at least by 25%. I feel a bit concerned and cannot find any relevant information online. Please help.
Consult a physician. Since its bilateral, could be due to medications taken other than hip injections...a Blood test for platelets and CBC, hemoglobin may give some clue. Sometimes lowering of platelets count, prothrombin time leads to this, screening may be required
