Hello,

Acute onset of severe joint and bone pain is likely to be infectious in nature.
Bruising could be due to the disorder of coagulation.
I suggest you get a complete blood count, peripheral blood smear examination, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT).

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

Regards,
