Bruise Like Pain On Thighs, Bruises Surfaces On Doing Deep Tissue Rub. Should I Be Concerned?
Hi, I m having some bruise like pain on my thighs. When I run my fingers or thumb (massage motion), it feels like my thigh is bruised inside. This has been going on for a while, and when I do a deep tissue rub, the bruise actually comes to the surface of the skin. I ve heard of stressed bruising. Should I be concerned?

Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
According to your description , pain over your thighs seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of thighs and rule out any infective cause.
Wishing you good health..
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta
