About unusual bruising? I bumbed my knee and got a knot but it was not very painful.?

3 days later I noticed wide spread but not dark bruising across the front of my leg, and then in 2 more days bruising appeared in my foot. Now it looks like a bad sprain but without swelling or pain. The knot on my knee is almost gone. Any body ever heard of this before?

    There could be the possibility you could have a blood clot, they can travel and can kill you. Don't mean to sound so stern but it is something you need to have checked out. You also may need some labs done...your blood could be thin or you could be anemic. There are blood disorders or diseases that can also cause bruising. When it travels from the knee to the foot it does not sound good. Just trying to be honest. I don't mean to scare you. You need to be safe and go to the Dr. I know there is a nurse on here and maybe she can give better advice. Although, I am a Phlebotomist. Good Luck!!!
