How long does it take to get over a bruised bone?

Question:

I fell real hard on my butt 10 days ago and it doesnt feel much better by now. I had xrays taken but no breakage or fractures. I am a little crooked though and will be seeing chiroprater aggressively for a few weeks, and Dr said I bruised my bones. I didnt know that bruised bones can take so long to heal. How long before I see a sign of relief?

Answers:
idk... but i'm sorry for ur pain and frustration. i am anxious to see what people say, because i've been having ankle/feet problems too.

i went to a chiropractor for some dislocated toes and heel and a podiatrist for the pain that wouldn't go away. i was going to go to an orthopedic, but was told that a podiatrist specializes in the feet. u have more bones there then anywhere else in the body and they are more trained to catch things that an orthopedic might miss. i was told i had some fractures and bruised bones. i've been off my feet with minimum walking for 5 weeks. i've been told it can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to walk properly and be rid of the pain.

best wishes
