A member asked:
I have bruises on my lower back on the skin where my spine is and i don't know why. a theory that i have is that i crush the veins between the spine and the chair when i'm sitting down. any possible answer as to why this is happening?

Your theory is likely incorrect. If you observe new bruises in different parts of your body and you experience unusual bleeding such as nosebleed or bleeding during tooth brushing, you should see a doctor. If new bruise does not occur in a short time, you are safe.
