What Causes Purple Discoloration Of Elbows And Knees?

I used meth a couple times In college and I haven t used at all in 3 years I found it extreamly easy to quit using, but my question is; my friend and I were talking about the times that we did used back then and wondered why our elbows and knees seemed to turn kind of a violet purple color.

HI
Well come to HMC
If you all have this type of appearance of purple color knee joint and elbow then this could be due to narcotic (Chances is very minimal) if this is not to every one then this may not be due to narcotic and condition need to be examined for any collagen disease, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
