Bad bruising

NY25

Cathlete
So, I was watching this weekend's nightmare - I mean Packer game - and in jumping up and down all night, apparently repeatedly banged my calf against the wooden chair seat. At the time it was happening, I didn't notice it, so I wasn't banging it very hard. Later is started to hurt, so I moved seats. Later Sunday night I discovered a massive bruise on my leg (like 4 inches square!). Is this normal? It seems like an extreme bruise for not being hit by a baseball bat or something. What could cause this?
 
I'm catching up on reading posts ... a couple of things could be going on ...
Are you taking any NSAIDs, like Motrin or Advil? They can cause more bleeding when taking than when you're not.
May you be a little anemic and therefore more likly to bruise easily?
A wooden chair? ,,, perchance you were at a bar and imbibing a little too much and didn't notice the banging on your leg until it became severe??

At any rate, I hope you are healing well by now. Deb
