What Causes Bruises On Knee?

I was sitting hunched for about 15 mins and when I looked at my knees there were bruises forming - I immediately straightened my legs and rubbed and massaged them and the bruising went away (although there is a slight discolouration in the area) at the moment I have my legs delighted elevated and feel fine - have you any idea what has just happened??

HI
Well come to HCM
Because of the posture say bad posture, this could disturb the circulation and uneven compression and this could cause bruises, now this is fine so next time try to maintain good posture, if you are suppose to sit in one position for longer than enough of time then go on changing the position every after while, take care have a nice day.
