Hi, less than 2 weeks ago I began having lower leg fatigue. Out of nowhere I hadn t been exercising. I went to my dr a few days ago and she ran a bunch of blood work. I was able to log on and see my results. Only thing low was my platelets at 144 ( normal being 150-450). This morning I woke up and noticed a bruise on my right calf. This evening two more bruises on the same calf have appeared. My legs still feel fatigued. Should I be concerned?
144000 on 150000 platelets should not concern you. What about the other blood cells? Your hepatic blood tests? However, If there aren't other diseases, beyond a viral infection that may give you low blood cell count (generally autosolving, don't mind) and fatigue, I cannot see any link between your problems. Superficial bruises may be linked with a PLT count far lower (<80-100000)
