What Causes Lazy Leg Syndrome With Excessive Bruising On Leg?
my son is 38 years old with a past history of alchohal use he lays carpet and floors for a living he says the past week or so his legs have been hurting and today he says that when he thinks about moving his legs below the knee it takes him 30 to 45 seconds before they will move he has had to physically pick them up to get them going he has multiple bruses on thighs and assumes they are from work but has been very fatgued past few weeks
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.
