What Causes Intermittent Unusual Bruise-like Pain In The Legs And Hips?
Weird bruise-like pains that come and go...they sorta increase in intensity for a few minutes then leave...happens for a few days about every three months and there is never any visible sign of whatever it is...generally in the hip, buttocks, and leg regions...any thoughts?

Hi,
These are called paresthesia. It could be due to deficiency of vitamin B12 or nerve pressure (if they are occurring in one area only). Apart from these, there are many other causes. Get serum Vitamin B12 tested, and to see if it is normal go for a neurologist consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
