Ouch my poor knee!

Thanks for the sympathy. I do bruise easily always have done, not on any meds, and as far as I am aware I don't have arthritis.

But yes, you are all correct. I need to head off to the mop shop :-)

Riverwalk, I don't know is the answer it has always been instinct to grab a cloth and drop to my knees lol. not anymore though. it isn't too painful, aches a bit but it looks gross.

Thanks all

I bruise if a fly lands on me Hopehope I'm often asked how I got a particular bruise but I don't always know it happened. I have had tests but no problem found. I use a an implement to which I attach a disposable wet floor wipe this saves kneeling. Yes I know its not very eco friendly but it is knee friendly.

If you have arthritis it could be osteophytes.Mine pierced something on inside of knee, leg swelled up like a balloon and ended up with thigh to ankle strapping and on crutches for a while. All better now but they are still there.

you may have burst a small blood vessel as you say by kneeling on something hard. Try ice packs on it for a few days and pain relief.
I agree with riverwalk wouldn't be without my steam mop.

Are you on anti-clotting medication?

And I hate to be obvious but why don't you use a mop?

Ooh sounds bad. We need to look after our knees as I know only too well. Time to buy a mop?

Ouch I wonder what you could have done without realising you had hurt yourself? Do you usually bruise easily ? i m the exact opposite I can be knocked and banged so hard but rarely bruise and when I do it's like a little apology of a bruise nothing to show for the accident

Hope it all goes back to normal soon x
