Is Bruise In Legs With Tender Lump A Symptom Of Protein S Deficiency?

Hi, I am 25 years old and have protein s deficiency. Recently I have been bruising very easily, particularly on my lower legs. Whenever I have a bruise I have a hard, tender lump underneath the bruise and my legs feel tired and ache. Is this normal and could it be related to the protein S deficiency? Thanks.

Hello,

It could be an abscess or hematoma. It is unlikely to be related to protein deficiency. If there is any diagnostic confusion an ultrasound scan can be tried.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
