mysterious "bruising" - Limited OT

over the last 2 weeks i've developed many "bruises" and i have no idea where they came from. i haven't taken any falls, bumped into anything...nothing like that. what is weird is that you can't actually tell there's a bruise there - there is no discoloration of the skin. but when i touch that spot it hurts like it is a bruise.
there are "bruises" on one of my calves, both my knees, my left hip, my left butt cheek, my right upper arm, part of my right shoulder (on my back) and one or two places on my right breast.
it's very weird, and it's actually really bothering me. i've got all sorts of weird ailments running through my head right now. i promise that i have not taken a fall or a random roll down a big hill lately. this whole thing started about two weeks ago with my knees and has just gone from there.

For myself I usually wait a couple of weeks to see if things change on their own, the body is the best doctor of all.
Have you considered dairy & wheat allergies, the two most common adult onset allergies? You can test that by simply not eating very much of those for a couple weeks.

Of course all of the conditions mentioned are treatable- and every single one of them has a better disease prognosis earlier in the disease course.
I'm still thrown off by the whole "invisible bruising" thing, though.
An ANA test is important.
i always manage to convince myself that what i think is serious is totally not serious and totally not worth wasting a doctor's time. and i'm afraid of going in there with genuine concern and getting laughed out of the office with what amounts to a drunk girl falling down without realizing it. which, by the way, i can assure you did not happen.
I had the worst back attack when my son was about 6 to 8 months old. I pulled something and/or something was out of place. I couldn't get out of bed for 2 days, finally was able to get to the Dr and they did a scan just to make sure my back was okay but his prescription was to "put the baby down"
*sorry if I have you mistaken for someone else*
Things just jump out at me....I swear!
