I can't upload a picture, but I noticed today several tiny bruises on my legs, back of the thighs mostly. They are small and I have bruises on my right tibia too, 9 and they are on the line. Yesterday I had a bad back pain, today leg pain. I have felt nauseous and 2 weeks ago I was so tired for the 2 days I couldn't do anything. I'm still little tired but not as much. I have had lump feeling in the throat, it comes and goes but doesn't feel when I drink or eat. I'm literally convinced that I have leukemia. I had blood drawn on May 8th and everything was fine, nothing was low or increased. Everything was checked.

We can't diagnose anything here, but sounds harmless, IMO. All of your symptoms are common, maybe even nonspecific, in a wide range of benign conditions - most notably, anxiety. Everyone bruises, often without knowing what causes the bruises. I've had many bruises I couldn't explain, and pretty much everyone else has as well.

Thank you. If I had leukemia, would my blood results in May be decreased or increased? I'm going tomorrow to get my blood draw done again just in case. I have a breast augmentation surgery next month and I want to be as healthy as possible.

Hardly anything in the medical field is definitive. It depends on what was involved in the blood test. If they tested CBC (white / red blood cells, etc) and it was fine, that's usually a strong indicator that all is well. Can things be amiss despite clear tests? Yes, though that's unlikely, IMO. If you're concerned, talk to your doc. That's the most appropriate course of action.

Thank you again. I know I have a terrible health anxiety, and I'm working on it. And yes the doctor checked my white and red blood cells, and they were within the range. Everything were normal.

I just wanted to let you know that my CBC came back normal, I had blood draw today.
