My 27 year old daughter has severe bruising on her legs, knee caps, and thighs. She has lost a lot of weight since December. She complains of being tired and no energy. I have scheduled a Drs appointment for her but I m curious as to what could be causing these problems
First you should do C reactive protein, CBC, fasting blood glucose as a lab investigation. If there is only persistent swelling, we should exclude presence of inflammation, but now you should start with analgesic and anti-inflammatory oral and topical cream for 2 weeks.
