Hey Eric,
When you were in the hopital for the blood clots in your legs what were your symptoms??? Was it just pain or other things???? Did you have a tender spot on your leg at all????? Thanks in advance for answering all my questions.......JULIE

    I believe
    from what my doctor told me, if your legs and ankles are swollen, hot, red, and hurt when you walk, it could be a blood clot, and you should get to a hospital. I know I'm not Eric lol..but did call the doctor once about it since my ankles were swelling.

    Hugsss!

    You
    Should put your legs up, keep them elevated above your heart, it took about 3 days of this for my swelling and redness to go down, and my legs went back to normal, and thanks!! I'm glad at least some of my hair stayed on my head LOL!! Maybe this will work for your bruise? it sounds like you hit it on something??

    Hugsss!

    yeah
    I had thought that I might have hit it too but its been over a month and is still tender. Its not so much a black and blue its more like a dicoloring from the veins.It is still tender and my feet and legs are sore All the time.Still have some nauroapathy in my feet too. Plus new job and standing all day so maybe its that too but just don't know......JULIE
