I noticed on Wednesday thatthe back of my knee an old stretch mark had turned deep purple- now I'm down 100lbs....so I KNOW i'm not stretching ANYTHING anymore. It's extremely painful and I can even feel it when I wal****asionally. Now I'm very active, I run around the hospital all day long along with other activities.

Also It appears to be bruised as well as of today- I haven't ran into anything or scratched it

I would think that your wisest choice would be to see a nurse practitioner or doctor to rule out a blood clot. 
Good luck!

I agree totally! Don't waste time wondering. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I hope you will update and let us know if it was a clot or not. 

Sending healing thoughts!
