C an osteopathic Dr.: You may benefit from seeing an osteopathic physician, who specializes in doing a musculoskeletal examination of your head, neck, back, sacrum, hips upper, and lower extremities, and ribs to see if there is a structural or postural component playing into this. S/he can also check for scoliosis, and any other possible structural issues, or deformities. It may be something simple to treat, so don't delay.

I have at it for about a year now and it's not really a huge bruise just slightly darker than everywhere else and it goes from the start of my ribs almost to the start of my back? I looked up pictures of hemangioma and it doesn't look like anything I saw?
