Random bruises on my legs?
I *never* bruise. I can count the number of bruises I've had in the past 10 years on 2 hands. Now, however, I have 6 bruises on my legs. 3 on the front of the calves and the rest gathered around my knees. Different colors and sizes, all of them. I haven't been running into anything or banging my shins, which would be required for what is on my legs.
My right calf also gets shooting pains occasionally that make it super painful to walk or put any weight on it. I thought it was shin splints after I began running a lot more, but that was 2 months ago and I haven't run in the past month or so. What could it be?
Jake-- I've been taking B12 and Calcium supplements for a few months now. The vitamin is 100% of my B12 and 45% Calcium. I've been really intentional of getting the rest of my calcium.

this is a typical case of abnormal blood veins rupture that happens in the leg. The blood vessels in your leg are bursting cause bruise like appearance on the locations you described. The symptom of the right calf "shooting pain" is also common. They is caused by a lack in vitamin B12, A and calcium deficiency.
