the Dr seen the bruise... so u should of asked him... but it really depends on u.. and how ur body heals. fast or slow..

rub on it gently.. from time to time... it will hurt less as the days pass.. then add more pressure... put a warm wash clothe on it as well from time to time.. u do not want any blood clods... and drink lots and lots of water to flush ur system...

depends on how fast you ehal - usually a few days can be up to a week or so - it will turn yellow as it heals - put some ice on it for now to help it along
A bruise is nothing more than blood collecting under the skin, usually from the rupture of capillaries. The best way to disapate a bruise is with warm compresses two to three times a day and massage the area. Massaging helps the system re-absorb the blood. This technique to limit the bruise to about 5-7 days.
it's going to hurt really bad, but if you massage it out and drink lots of water it should be gone within 3 days.
It depends on how deep the bruse is. It could take two weeks to a month.
