What Causes Bruises In Hand?

my right hand feels bruised although no physical impact happened with it. This has been going on for more than a year and i already went to 2 doctors (hand and bone), had 10 sessions of therapy including my neck, x-ray, etc. with no cure in sight. The pain is bearable but uncomfortable...from 1-10 scale, 10 being most painful, it is currently at 5-6, for over a year now, no subsiding...what could this possibly be?
