BLUE THIGHS

[downsizingdiva 459]

I HAD MY VSG IN JANUARY 2015, I'VE LOST OVER 120 LBS ALL TOGETHER. THIS WEEK I NOTICED THAT MY THIGHS ARE BLUISH IN COLOR. I HAVEN'T INJURED THEM AND I'M NOT COLD. I HAVE BEEN SPEED WALKING AND JOGGING BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD CAUSE IT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT??? THANKS A BUNCH!

I would see a doctor as soon as you can for it. Could be Cyanosis or a circulation issue.

Is it cold where you live right now? Few things it could be....Cold exposure symptoms include color changes on the skin, numbness, stinging, redness, blisters, and more.

Raynaud phenomenon is another possibility Raynaud's phenomenon causes color changes, coldness, tingling, and numbness in certain parts of the body. Venous insufficiency, Venous insufficiency causes pain, aching, skin rashes, and swelling in the legs also the oh so lovely Acrocyanosis, Symptoms of acrocyanosis include blue mottled skin of the hands and feet, cold hands, cold feet, and more. That's just a few possibilities. Listen to @@Babbs and call your physician to be safe.

Definitely get it checked out.

Just a thought, though...you haven't tried on any brand-new blue jeans lately, have you?

This has happened to me and I totally freaked out.

With my weight loss all the gnarly varicose veins I have are way more visible and I have lots of bruisy looking places.

No new jeans, but I have had that happen before ha ha!

Sounds dumb I know but done sometimes I turn blue from certain dark blue jeans.

I have had the blue jeans thing happen to me too!! I freaked out. I had just changed from my jeans to sleep shorts and was sitting in bed and noticed my legs and hands were blue. I finally realized it was from my jeans. I had been touching them with my hands. I was SO relieved!! LOL

WELL, AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SUSPISION, I'VE CHALKED IT UP TO Vitamin K. EASILY BRUISING, BRUISES THAT TAKE FOREVER TO GO AWAY, BLEEDING GUMS, AND BLUISH AREAS ON THE SKIN.

Have you verified this with a blood test? If you are low on K are you taking supplements?

One of the supplements I take is a D+K dot. I get it from Drugstore.com.
