What Causes Bruising On The Hip, Thigh And Knee After Exercise?
I had an IT band injury 2 years ago after i rolled on my ankle in the garden. I am 52, and do regular moderate exercise. My IT band has never been the same. I do stretching exercises for it, including swimming. Now I have a bruise at the on my hip, another on mid thigh and another below the knee. The bruises came up a soon after a walk with lots of steps uphill. Any advice welcome. What is going on?

Hello,
it is very rare for IT band injury to cause such pain for long time. I think that this can be due to nerve compression in the spine or hip joint arthritis. I would recommend you to get MRI of the hip and spine to confirm the diagnosis. If there is any nerve compression then it can be treated with physiotherapy. If there is any reduction in joint space in hip joint then you need to seek arthritis treatment.
thanks
