Coagulopathy?: A twenties female complaining of waking up with buttock, leg, and hip bruises has an unusual problem. Blood tests should include studies for predisposition to ecchymoses, a doctor name for bruises ; for inability of blood to clot normally. Signs of bruising suggest the person might be having restless sleep with much tossing, turning, and possibly even unconscious leg kicking.
