Title: dark bruises on knees and legs
Post by: Michele on April 14, 2009, 08:36:33 am
Hi

Has anyone ever experienced a series of dark bruises appearing on your knees and legs as a result of running? 
I have been running for 16 years and have never had bruises appear like that until now.  The bruises are dark, large spots and do not hurt. They just started appearing a couple of weeks ago and they have been increasing.  I have not hit my knees pr legs at anytime in the past few weeks.  Should I be worried?

Seems strange. I doubt that running caused the bruising. Maybe something else. Kneeling? Something else you did? If the problem lingers you might want to get yourself checked out.

That is strange, and is something that could be a symptom of more serious underlying disease.  Anemia jumps to the top of my head.  You need to go see a doctor.
