Subject: Strange Bruises--diagnose me
I have a set of strange symmetrical bruises on my forearms/wrists, that I must've received either cycling or swimming. I haven't taken any falls, or had any weird pains. Has anyone had anything similar? Because there's no pain I'm not too concerned, I'm just curious.

I once had bruises in the back due to lane cables (caused by the change of lane, when you pass below the cables). The pattern was like it had been done by 4 fingers. My GF discovered it in the shower and I had a very hard time trying to find out what it was... Might it be something like this ? I often have bruises or wounds for which I do not recall how it was done. If your skin remains reddish and you feel pain though, go see your doctor...

Good luck !

Christian.

the lane lines seem like magnets to my wrists in the pool, and i'm always hitting them while swimming, especially with someone else in my lane. my watch seems to be taking the beating at this point, but i still hit my wrists every once in a while on the lane lines. maybe that's it???

That might be it. I may have been hugging the lane line trying to stay out of my lane-mate's way.

One of my friends suggested that they might be stigmata.

Were the handcuffs too tight?

No, the ceiling is just too high.
