I have sciatica and have been prescribed tramadol i have now noticed a lot of unexplained bruises on my legs could this be connected to sciatica?

Erythema nodosum: If, as it sounds, your bruises may be erythema nodosom which can arise for a multitude of reasons, one of which is a drug reaction. Normally these bruises will subside over time without treatment. If the bruises become very painful consult your doctor for relief.

Bruises: I'm not aware that sciatica causes bruises. You might experience some side effects from medication or drug interaction. Please see your doctor for evaluation.

No: Bruising is not related to sciatica. It could be related to any medications you could be taking. See your doctor to evaluate thus further.
