My Husband Had An Artificial Heat Valve Placed A Little

My husband had an artificial heat valve placed a little over a year ago.
Two days ago I notice what appeared to be bruising in the kidney and hip area.
Today the purpura areas have enlarged.
He also complained of a headache and his usual joint pains seem to be bothering him more than usual.
Please advise
