General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi

It would of course be wise to get it checked, but bruises can appear without any noticeable injuries or falls and when this occurs rarely it is fine, but when this happens regularly is when we need to get checked. As for you, the spasms and the bruise together call for some minor intervention by your doctor but nothing serious in my opinion.

Best wishes
