A member asked:
I woke up with my back burning and i have 3 bruises on it. i also have 1 on my thigh. i didn't injure myself. what could this be?

Hard to tell: The bruising would imply an injury, even minor. If your blood is normal you most likely would have noticed the injury, even if you were asleep (people sometimes twist or pull or bump parts of themselves when they're asleep and wake up injured, not knowing what happened). The back burning could be from injury or kidney infection or hard to tell what. You should see a doctor for better evaluation.

I have had left knee pain off and on for years and several years back a procedure was performed where shaving of some bone spurs was done. My knee pain has come and gone since. However, about 1 year ago, I injured it by lifting my leg and with some force met the corner of a wall with the top of my knee. X-rays showed no break. Doctor prescribed PT, which did not help. Pain has continued/worsened. There is now bruising (black and blue) on the inside of my knee. Is this worrisome? Knee pain?
