wow...so you've never had a mystery bruise that you had no idea how it came about!?
Either you are a very careful person or I am extremely clumsy (and often various shades of purple, green and black!!LOL).😄

I weight train 3x a week and ALWAYS have mystery bruises on my legs. Don't panic.

@henlake7 no I actually don't unless I don't know about it and I haven't experienced this before during workouts I have health anxiety so these things freak me out tbh lol

ah, I can see how that might make your anxiety worse then!
Personally I blunder through life like a human dodgem car....currently have a big bruise on my leg and 2 cuts on my hand....not a single clue how they got there!😁

It's normal for most people to find bruises now and then, and not know or remember how they occured. This is your anxiety putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with worse case scenarios, looking for "connections". Carry on with your training OP. You're fine.

It's not a very impressive bruise!

I'd seek some help for the health anxiety if you haven't already. You don't need reassurance about a small bruise
