What is this weird bruise on my leg?

[Anonymous]

I've been having pain my foot on and off for the last month.

It hurts when I stand on it to walk and I feel dizzy if I get up too quickly.

My doctor said it was overuse of the nature of my job.

I was getting changed it some other pants and noticed a bruise on my leg.

I don't know how it got there, I haven't fallen over recently or banged into anything.

It's on my left leg about 10cm up from the ankle.

It's a brown colour size of a small coin. When I touch it, the bruise disappears and when I let go it comes back.

The bruised part of my leg now also hurts when I walk.

Is this normal?

Is this all from my work as I have a bad shoulder and back too.

I feel like an 80 year old, not a 40 year old.

Have a physical therapist look at it, they're usually better at figuring things out than doctors, and they can work on it for you. Then if you need to, you can go back to a doctor once you have some idea of what it is.

The dizziness is probably unrelated, sit on your bed and pump your feet like you're pressing the gas and brake pedals before you stand up. That will get the blood moving all the way up your body and make it less likely you will be dizzy. But do get the dizziness checked out.

You do realise that this is NOT a professional medical treatment centre/forum, don't you? smh

It's a Health and Fitness forum isn't it. Don't reply then. Smh

Grow Up and start acting your fucking age... If that's even correct, which I doubt very much.

So, you would like a diagnoses from people that are not doctors over your doctor. Smart.

Even if you show me a picture of your bruise, I’m not a Doctor 👩‍⚕️.
