Suggest Treatment For Lupus Disease

I have lupus. In the past 4 years, I have hemmoraged during menses which was treated with hormones. since then I have been treated for lupus anticoagulant and now after strokes, antiphospholipid. My question is, at the injection sites of levonox, I am bruising badly. The areas are becoming knotty. is this the lupus or the levonox?

Hello,
Lovenox is a low molecular weight heparin. Being a blood thinner, it can produce mild bleeding into the skin at the sites of injection. There is nothing to worry about the same as it gets absorbed fast.
I shall be happy to answer if you have any further queries.
