What Causes Soreness And Purple Coloration In Knee?
Melissa (14) has seen orthopedic, had xray this week and MRI is for wednesday. She cannot bend her knee. No injury just a slow progression to not being able to bend. anyway, today she woke up and her leg has a purple hue to it (below her knee to her ankle). Not her toes. It is subtle but if you compare the two legs you can see a slight purple coloring. Her knee has been purple this past week but not even as purple as it was, just slightly. What should I do?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, this could be vascular growth, or tumor affecting her knee joint. the MRI will clear this doubt, but one thing is clear, since its without trauma and its stopping the knee joint, its not a good sign.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
