Hi! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what this means: I have a bruise on my right and left leg (on the shin-bone area) they are both the same size and they are both in the same place. They don't hurt when I walk or press on them. I don't remember falling or hitting my legs at any time in the past 24 hours. I have asked my family if they remember but they said that I haven't. Please help
Hello, Senior 2014. Do you do anything like get on the floor to clean or get on your knees to garden? It seems as though you may have been on your knees to do something and caused some bruising in doing so. As a person ages, they tend to bruise more easily. You do not have to have an injury but just prolonged pressure in a spot or bump something and you will get a bruise from it. If your bruises start to spread, however, you will need to need to see the doctor as something more serious could be going on.
Has anyone else have bruising in identical areas?
I don't think so. My arms and hands tend to have the same thing. Most of the time I am sitting at home. We are on Christmas break and not doing much.
Go to the doctor and have it checked out. No one should be bruising for no apparent reason. I wish you luck!
