Why is the appearance of large random bruises on my legs an urgency & cause a trip to an er? if its not from gabapentin, then what could it indicate?

Specializes in Neurology

Bleeding disorder: It is unlikely from gabapentin but more likely related to slow blood clotting, that could be dangerous particularly if it happens suddenly. I would go to the ER.
