I have bruises on the crease of my left hip, bruising behind my left knee and my 11th and 12th right rib is tender to touch also? I did not fall, walk into anything for this to happen? I am a massage therapist so I have to be aware of my body at all times! I believe that they are trigger points, but when trigger points are deactivated there isn t any bruising... This is very strange. Maybe I m abnormal
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. Since you are massage therapist, muscular strain is common in you. But better to rule out internal lung causes for your chest pain. So get done chest x-ray first. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about lung disease. Your pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain. So avoid strenuous exercise and heavyweight lifting. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright in 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
