Bruised tissue is a minor injury where the meat in your body is bruised. When a bone is bruised it hurts more, the bone often has a knot on it or there is swelling, and it is a bigger injury than regular bruising.

Bruising of tissue can involve any body system, organ or exponent of bone such as muscle, skin, tendons, blood vessels, fascia, cartlidge, ligaments anything surrounding or supporting a bone. Bruising of bone is limited to the skeletal system and only refers to bone.
