What Causes Bruise On The Back Of Knee With Swollen Knee Cap?
I developed a rapid large dark purple/black bruise on the back of my knee. Along with swelling in the front of the knee cap on my right leg. I never bumped it nor over exerted myself. It very painful, I can t stand completely on the leg or put pressure while walking. Wondering if it s something to worry about.

What Causes Bruise On The Back Of Knee With Swollen Knee Cap?
Hi, Yes, it is hormonal only. Looking at your age, it is more likely to be thyroid problem. Get your thyroid function tests done and consult an Endocrinologist. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
