i have had this MANY times. it feels like i have a bruise but there is no discoloration of the skin.i have also heard of my friends/family members having this. is it really a bruise or is it something else? as far as i know a bruise is when you break veins or something and blood raises up causing the color. so what happens with the "invisible" bruises?

Your skin tone has nothing to do with a bruise that isn't visible. Yes, you can have deep tissue bruising without skin discoloration. The same thing happens with deep tissue bruises, there are capillaries and vessels throughout the body and we can't see them all.

Yes - I have had bone bruises that continue to hurt long after the skin bruise is gone.

it just means that the bruise is too deep to see any discoloration like a bruised bone.

It happens to me all the time. Very possible. Probobly just to far beneath the skin, or you might just have a skin tone that disguises it.
