Question : have bruising on upper thigh. Had Shingles 2 weeks ago. Fatigued
Brief Answer:
bruising and fatigue
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Having shingles can account for some fatigue in some people. However, the combination of bruising and fatigue brings up a question about clotting and possible bone marrow problems. I suggest that you start first by getting an appointment with a local doctor for an exam and some blood tests.
There are many causes for fatigue so you should get a metabolic panel, CBC and thyroid tests at a minimum.
Bruising without trauma could be from a clotting disorder so if the above tests are normal looking at clotting factors may be helpful as well.
I hope you recover soon and get back to normal.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
