Bruise On Lumbar Spine, Not Dark, Second Bruise Developed Under It. Causes?

I have a bruise on my lumbar spine that hasn t gone away in months...it s bigger than a silver dollar, but not in any shape, it s just blob like and it s not very dark. Its normally painless, but now it s somewhat tender and a second bruise has developed (not dark either, and a bit smaller) an a couple inches or so under it, around the bottom of my lumbar vertebrae . They are on the left side of my spine about an away from it.

1. bruise that has shown no improvement means it has to be further evaluated.
2. Regardless of the cause, your spine should be evaluated by your doctor and consider for Imaging, X rays and then MRI.
