I have multiple bruises (large and small) of different ages all over my legs. It's been this way for about 2 months. They keep coming and going for no reason. A friend told me that it could be because I take Tegretol (carbamazepine) daily for seizures, but I've been taking this med for years, and this bruising has never happened before.
Could it be a sign of blood clots?
that could be an adverse reaction to the drug but it is probably something you should talk to your doctor about. this drug has many many side effects and he may switch you to something else if he knows this. easy bruising is usually a sign of thinned blood as opposed to clotting blood. it is seen alot in people taking "blood thinners" like warfarin, heparin, or even aspirin

No, blood clots would make it difficult to bruise, a sign of blood clots could be loss of use in the area of clotting, or extreme pain, in the area of clotting.
