Pl check if its only on one leg with heaviness and swelling and pain increasing. If so, you have to exclude DVT ( deep vein thrombosis) developing, by a surgeon. Though chances are lesser but we should be cautious.

If on both legs then there may be local causes. Multiple bruises may be due to local causes too.

Please be cautious and if it doesn't relieve by hot water bath in thighs and legs, please rush to suitable hospital. Stagnating circulation in legs may be the reason.

Hope it helps you.
