What Causes Mild Painful Bruise At The Knuckle Of The Little Finger?

I Suddenly have a mildly pAinful bruise on my pinky knuckle with no impact or trauma. I looked down as I was going, and there it was. It is reddish purple and about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. This happened once before, about 2 months ago. Doc said he thought it might be a burst bursa, if I had hit it just right (last time was on my middle finger knuckle). We had xrays, but there was no discernable break or fracture. I ve heard that to burst a bursa requires significant impact. Amy ideas?
