What Causes Sore Leg And Bruise On Knee Cap?
I have had a sore leg for 2 weeks, Thursday I woke up and have a black & blue bruise on my knee cap, it does not hurt, just the leg does, this morning I woke up with a big black & blue bruise behind my knee going up my leg, the leg is still sore and the pain is going into my butt. What could this be?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might have knee synovitis. It can be due to sudden twisting of knee joint. I would suggest you to apply compression bandage and Ice application. There is also role of rest. You need to avoid squatting and sitting cross leg for long hours. You can take tablet Brufen for pain relief.
Thanks
