Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that he needs a x ray of the back to see if there is any loose implant or any infection which is causing this. There is no need to rush to emergency but you should visit doctor in next available OPD.
I hope he is not taking any heart medicines or any other tablets. These may also cause such bruising.
Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
