I thought nothing about the bruise was asked what i bumped it on then by the following day the bruise is spreading around the ankle & the ankle is swollen , i havent bumped my leg on anything can it be caused from the cramp i had during the night
Have you experienced a bad cramp in your ankle at night, followed by bruising and swelling that's spreading?
This situation needs immediate medical attention. While lupus can cause painful leg cramps and muscle spasms, the combination of sudden pain, spreading bruising, and swelling in your ankle could indicate something Show Full Answer
I noticed early this
morning my other leg is now bruising in the same place as my right leg i assumed that meant my INR must be on the high side, i got the results back on my way home from my endocrinology appt it was 2.0 , so thats not it , god bless you hope you had a great day

Teresa, as it's a large bruise, I suggest you see your doctor about this. This, along with the associated ankle swelling, could indicate a flare, and it's best to be checked.
I once had a sudden pain followed by a bruise on my thigh when I was in a flare.
@ niranjana Thank you, thats helps ive always had low B/p , until last month , they dont salt anything here except the salt thats already on the food, like the prcessed food or all the spiral ham they served for the holidays it was way to salty for my taste im working on my walking but the pain is so bad i havent done it much this week. Hard to hold on to the walker, As for loosing weight my Drs would all have a fit im already down to 100 lbs
They say im underweight . They dont want me dropping below that 100 mark . Thank for the info in what my B/P should be.
Ideally, a BP of 120/80 or less is best, but up to 130 for the top (systolic) isn't bad. Are you avoiding salt, Teresa? For those who are overweight or obese, even a little weight loss lowers the BP, too, as does exercise like walking, if possible. I'm sure you'll follow up with your doctor about it. Pain can definitely raise it, too.
