Would be important to know how you sustained these bruises in the first place Julie ... presume you know that it is not a sprain or a break ? Sure you do .. can't help with the pain, but most bruising is not that serious .. just remember only the blood dispersing under the skin, has to go somewhere.

Was always cold compresses/ice when I was younger and only thing that appears to reduce swelling and discomfort still .. oh, and try not to bang 'em again... x
