A member asked:
I have the following symptoms: unexplained bruising that have been present for a while and my foot going to sleep or cramping. should i be concerned?

Probably not: The bruising may be caused by several reasons, such as poor diet, lack of vitamins, activities or trauma to the feet. The foot going to sleep or cramping is usually an overuse of the muscles that deplete them of oxygen causing the cramping. Make sure that you are moving around a lot and if this is only in one leg, see your doctor to rule out a blood clot. Good luck.
