Burning Sensation In The Side Of Knee While Running. Bruise Behind The Knee. Cause Of Bruise?
Hello, I recently went running a few days ago and during my run I felt a slight burning feeling on the side of my knee and back of it. After my run I noticed I had a small bruise about the size of a quarter directly behind my knee where my knee bends. I was wondering what would cause the bruising . I’m an avid runner and never experience this before.

Hi and welcome to HCM
Bruise seems to be rupture of superficial microvasculature due to strain probably be long running. Do icing and give rest to the part. Always warm up before running.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
