Hi, I found this when searching for calf pain, purple spots on calf. I ve had calf pain sporadically (It has gone away for months and then come back, over the past year or so.) Actually had some calf pain about 6-7 years ago and had it x-rayed, and nothing was wrong. And it went away. But more recently, it came back and I ve also had hip join pain when going up stairs. Doing lots (nearly daily) yoga seemed to help for a while. I m in physical therapy for the hip issue; it s getting better. (Slight arthritis , according to x-ray, and I also have mild scoliosis .) My calf pain (and occasional tingling/numbness in toes in both feet) has lessened, and is sporadic - but isn t gone. I recently noticed small purple spots on my calf as well. They look like mini-bruises, but they don t hurt. Any ideas what this might be?
