Hello to all, and thank you in advance for reading this!
So about a week ago, I was cooking dinner when all of a sudden it hurt my thumb to hold the knife, I looked at my thumb and there was blue dot deep under the skin! With in 2 hours about 1/2 of the top of my thumb was blue and red and purple and slightly swollen, like there was bleeding under my skin!
I went to the ER and by time I was seen it had faded to a light pink, they ran a few blood tests and an echocardiogram and said they found nothing, but it was possibly a blood clot!
By the time I woke up in the morning there was nothing there at all!
Yesterday, as usual my feet and ankles hurt in the morning, but this time it was different more pronounced in my right ankle. Shortly after rising I noticed a faint blue bruise on the top of my ankle! It is very sore, especially to the touch on the bruise and around the area, it is slighlty swollen, and the bruise keeps getting worse and worse.
It is now deep red growing in size and quite painful, my toes feel weird and sometimes pain shoots up my calf! I did not injure myself on either occasion. I had considered going to the ER again but am so sick of being told "I don't know" and being looked at like I'm crazy!
Has anything like this ever happened to you?
