Odd markings on knees.

I am 18 years old. Most of my growing is already done. I cannot remember details three months ago. I simply remember waking up thinking i was on fire.Then a week later, noticing the marks.

And after "researching"(google ftw). I'm pretty sure its not Henoch Schonlein Purpura..

My marks look nothing (thank goodness) like those.

Well, i have to admit my sons were never THAT bad either.

Not even close.

They looked much more like yours, yet they said it was this same purpura illness. I'm amazed i came that close to the spelling after all these years!

If i were you you should go to the doctors and get that professional opinion.

Actually, I am going on Thursday the 15th =)

What did he say??? did u see the Doc??? U Okay?

Yes I went and he told me exactly what i feared to hear....nothing.

I showed him the markings and he did his little "Examination". Ran some blood tests, and even extracted tissue to do an overnight examination on.

The results showed nothing wrong with the area. He said its perferctly healthy and show no signs of any kind of disfunction in the knees.

And now im broke and back where i started.lol

I'm going next tuesday(20) to another specialist to get a second opinion.

burning sensations in your legs along with discoloration
are indicitive of a heart condition. see your doctor immediately.
