How very stragne, that today I noticed loads of bruises on my upper thighs!! Loads of them! Never a one until this thread!! lol
I know what caused mine and this might shed some light....though I still don't know physiologically what causes them....but...
Over the weekend I pruned my tree and I got the high branches using one of those extension poles with secatuers at the end, and you pull a string which makes them snip....you know the ones?
Well, the tree was so high and on some of the thicker limbs I needed leverage to pull the rope to close the scissors.
I used my legs....my thighs, by resting the end of the pole on them I could then pull the string.
What is strange, is I was not putting a lot of pressure at all. At least I do't think so. Just resting it really. SO it did not take a heck of a lot of impact to bruise!
So those mentioned here who didn't know how they happened, could have happened quite easily without any knowledge.
Do wonder what makes it happen though.
Strange coincidence noticing it just after this thread!! Think I will go back and reread the thread link that was posted here too.
Cheers!
