Been out of the loop for the last few days after a sore knee turned into a swollen lower leg, which then started breaking out in angry looking bruises.

Got referred to the local hospital for possible Deep Vein Thrombosis and blood tests suggested there may be a clot there, had to go back the next day for an ultrasound scan...which found absolutely nothing. So, phew, I don't have DVT but, ouch, I've still got a sore knee and a swollen and bruised lower leg.

@nicecuppatea yay but boo. Yay for no DVT, Boo for sore and swelling and bruises.

Any news on cause?

@spoonrefuter No, the scan showed no sign of infection or clots, only thing that sort of fits now is Bursitis.

They've given me some anti-inflammatories and referred me back to my GP, who I miraculously managed to a) book an urgent appointment with b) which was even on the same day that I called. I nearly fainted in shock.
