What Causes Bruising At Knee After Exercising?

default
Posted on Fri, 13 Mar 2015
Question: I had broken my right tibia in 2010. Due to the nature of the injury, they implanted a titanium rod down the length of the bone and screwded it in at my ankle and just below my knee. I started working out about 3 months ago. I have noticed that there is brusining that is occuring just below my knee where two screws were implanted into the bone. The brusing is internal, as it goes away a few days after I squat and deadlift, and returns again after I work my legs out again. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Brusing could be due to impingement of screws below knee during workout.

There is nothing to worry. If pain occurs, removal of screws could be planned.

Hope this helps you.
