Oh no. The Doctors Show!! They are doctors….maybe…..that can’t make a living in the medical field….so they get on a talk show. Or sell bras.
Yes I tripped and barely touched to ground and I had such a big bruise and I fell off my bike but I was fine but then next day I looked on my back leg and it was a hugeeee bruise
I have a big bruise on my leg and i really need help getting it off it looks ugly
I get bruises easy because i hang out with jocks and im the weakest but the smartest maybe i should stop hanging out with them
Im scared that i loose blood supplies any natural remedies plss
Bruising could be a vitamin C deficiancy or vita k1,drink or eat lemons eat fermented sauerkraut and eat more leafy greens.
This comment is for anyone who bruises easily AND has other symptoms like: chronic pain (maybe a diagnosis of fibromyalgia), loose joints, very flexible (“double jointed”), super soft skin, stretchy skin, fragile skin, and/or clumsiness. You may want to be evaluated for a Connective Tissue Disorder like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Many of us get other diagnoses (like fibromyalgia, which does NOT cause easy bruising) until it’s finally discovered that we have EDS. I was 46 when diagnosed. Most doctors know little to nothing about EDS or confuse it with Marfan’s Syndrome, so please don’t assume they would have recognized it. Getting a proper diagnosis could save your life.
I have like a 4 by 4cm bruise on my chain and I need to get rid of it cuz then people will think that someone beat me up and hope it works
I get so many bruises for no reason, this is due to low iron levels for me though, I have to get iron supplements
Do you have Instagram? Love to talk to you about the trauma to my thigh, massive impact lol
Excellent video, very helpful. I have a severely swollen, red, and bruising section stretching from about my knee to my groin from impact with the frame of my mountain bike 2 days ago. It hurts to walk, and is constantly throbbing, while still growing. It’s become so excrutiating from the pressure that it’s almost maddening. There seem to be several parts hard to the touch and my fever spiked to 101.5 today after the advil wore off from lunch. I made the same mistake of taking advil the first 2 days but after reading elsewhere, and including your video, it looks like I may have made it much worse. I’m going to try Tylenol tomorrow if the fever comes back. I’m taking my son camping next Tuesday, my only vacation of the summer, and really hope that I could regain mobility before then so I’m not crippled at the site the whole time. Any other recommendations to heal the recovery? What is the best position to be in at work? Keep the leg elevated or sit in a 90* position with feet on the ground? It’s near impossible to get an appointment with my doctor right now with the epidemic and how they are scheduling teleconferences well in advance. I’ve switched to a mostly fruit vegetable nut and rice protein diet diet in hopes of jump starting things. Thanks.
I woke up with a bruise on my forehead and don’t know how it got there……. It’s been 4 week and it’s still there what do I do
Made exactly the same mistake as you regarding exercise. Out riding my bicycle and got hit by a car, very lucky to only suffer a contusion where the top tube of my bike struck the inside of my left quad, instant and large amounts of swelling. Iced it initially but two days later I went out of an easy ride, felt OK to ride at the time but walking following this was not good! Now 9 days on and still struggling with it, but it’s early days still…
I went to laser tag and I ran a lot so the heavy suit hit my leg so I got speckled bruises. I hope my mom doesn’t find out
Ugh my dad pushed me so I have a bruise and it’s annoying! (Not his fault) God why must bruises exist
Hi dr. I really like your video tips. You are a nice looking woman! I like your accent a lot as well! Are you single?
It’s been 2 years that I felt down the stair and I hit my left leg. It was really bruised in the begging & it was really painful I didn’t treat. It’s been three years and I have a huge and hard round hematoma what should I Do? I’m scared
Any specific directions for use on anterior medial shins? I fell down stairs 2 days ago and hit hard on the steel strip on the front of the bottom stair, about 2 inches below the knees. As I understand it, the starting anchor point should point toward the lymph nodes, but other than the inguinal nodes, I’m not sure of other nodes in the legs. I would appreciate your input in this. Thank you.
This is exactly what happened with me months ago I didn’t know what had happened until now I was in pain for weeks and couldn’t sleep
I have Von Willebrands disease. Bruises come with the territory. This was helpful! Thank you!
Hello I had a nasty motorcycle crash 9 days ago and I had a nasty bang to my hip/kidney area. I was diagnosed with a haematoma and doc didn’t really say much to me. It’s now bruised and gone a fully colour but I am in agony with it and struggling to walk. Its massively raised from my skin and causing sometimes very sharp feelings. Have you any idea what I should do?? Also will this bruising deffinatly go down?? Thank you
Hו! Love your tips and videos!!!! Cut your hair???? Would love to see a tutorial on how you fix your hair at home!!!! Thanks! Keep going!
Hi Ed, I actually went down a hill on my bike fell and the handle bar hit my calf and it’s all swollen, and it’s later the night of the accident and I can barely walk, do you know what I could have possibly did to it?
My brother hit me and I don’t want him to get in trouble by my parents.
Hey so I was riding my Honda Grom in the woods and took a little spill and dropped the bike… I landed on my right side and got some scratches from the fall but since I landed on my right side the bike landed on my lower right leg towards my left of my lower leg… it is swollen but no bruising yet… it happened today… I put ice on it and elevated my leg… I’m assuming it’s going to bruise tomorrow… my wife scared me and said I could have internal bleeding… I can still walk but it’s definitely swollen and tender… should I go to the hospital?
I dived in a swimming pool and got bruises on my face what do I do?
Fell yesterday in a parking lot on my one knee and whole leg is swollen, did not injure other parts of leg. I am over 54, do you think I broke something, no pain.
I had a bruise one week ago now it is completely gone so what I’ve done: 1.iced it everyday 2.put on retinol (vitamin c) cream on it and then I put toothpaste on top -this completely faded my bruise in two days ( the longer you leave it on the better ) I left it on for about 12 hours then put ice then reapplied)
Edit: only put toothpaste for overnight because it will open the bruise If you leave it on for too long and it will end up being a wound
I was ice skating and I fell on my knee and I have a big red bruise covering half of my knee, what do you think itbis
I have one on my calf from a cycling accident (not as bad as yours) and find that I can do limited amounts of certain activities without pain but I am quite worried about slowing my progress. I’m past the one week point and find I can bike again and would like to get back to yoga again soon. Is there a rule of thumb (besides the obvious of feeling pain) for getting active again? Thanks so much for the info.
Thanks for telling me to go to the hospital…I guess everyone wants be to get corona����
I’ve been dealing with a massive hematoma on my thigh, it’s going on 3 months… starting to worry, any thoughts?
I fell months ago. I can still feel burning and sharp needle like pain. My knee surgeon mentioned a hematoma that needs to have a drain plug put in. I no longer have bruising and swelling isn’t as bad. How can I have a hematoma five months later. And why would he not be concerned about it still bleeding
I fell and cracked a big terracotta planter with my quad before knocking myself unconscious a couple of days ago. My head seems fine, taking precautions still. But my I definitely have an acute quad contusion. I’m an indoor cycle instructor. How long do I need to lay off it?��
This helps me to understand what I’m going through. I’m 58 but pretty active (sailboarding, whitewater kayaking, cycling, coaching soccer) but I fell in my driveway when stepping over a trailer hitch and caught my toe in the wire harness. I was a college goalkeeper in soccer and had judo training in college, so I rounded my body for the landing. Unfortunately, the first point of impact was my front pocket filled two sets of keys. They were driven into my thigh by the impact, sort of like landing on a rock. I didn’t have another scratch on me, but it hurt really bad. A week and a half later after watching some PT videos, I switched from ice to heat and began massage to clear the fluid from around my knee and thigh. Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of a move with the pressure to get my house ready for the market, and had lots to do, so like you I couldn’t just rest it and keep it elevated. The worst has been catching my toe on a step, door jamb, and dog leash and twanging the quad muscles involved. My IT band feels inflamed, and swelling returned following each incident. The first stumble was bad enough, and the second was even worse causing terrible muscle spasms. I’ve been told to take even more Ibuprofin by a Nurse Practitioner following an exam. I guess it is time to pick up some Tylenol at the store and do as much elevation as possible. 20 degrees range of motion isn’t functional for much of anything anyway.
I believe I had one on my arm and I had 3 bumps and it went down to one, the bruise went away but the bump has been on my arm for months. What do I do?
Wow your leg looks like mine. I have a lump on my leg the size of a golf ball from a motorcycle accident I had 2 1/2 weeks ago.
I had hematomas on my waist the size of your foot. They seem to be going away but the one on my leg is still there. Can you comment comment on this? Thank you
My God thank you so much for the comb idea it works so freaking well
I have a bruise on my knee from dancing. How long will the bruise last?
How long did it take to heal? I have one on my Shin from an injury it’s been here for almost a month went to the Dr he said it’s normal it might take long to heal he said it a hematoma knot
Is there any ways to paste the kinesio tape on bruise shin? if there is, how?
here after jumping off a roof into a shallow swimming pool:/
I did the kylie Jenner lip thing as a date from my friend and my lips were bruised they were purple and I was trying everything and the comb got rid of the purple lips in minutes
Hello! I suffered a fall on Monday (5/25/2020). I was doing step up exercises in the 30-minute circuit area at Planet Fitness. My toe caught the step and I fell forward straight across the step. Hit my shin area VERY hard on the step and it immediately left a bruise about the size of a large grapefruit. The bruise had a lump in it that was very red and sensitive to the lightest touch. Since the injury the bruise expanded out and got even larger. As of today there is still a lump in the middle of the bruise that is fairly large. Stupid me continued to exercise after injuring myself as it didn’t hurt at the time. I didn’t apply ice until at least two hours after the injury. I haven’t been to a Doctor so I’m not too sure if I have a hematoma, but everything I research leads to such. I’ve been walking every day since as sitting all day makes it hurt even more. Am I doing more damage by walking for exercise?
who’s here after they tried the �� thing on their chin from TikTok
Hello I have a question I went on a atv ride n got in a accident lol surprisingly lol but I hit my shin and knee and now my knee is swollen and so is my ankle and around my leg it’s swolen that it kinda feels tight and stiff also I noticed I started to get some bruising around my heel!!

I tried the cayenne pepper & vaselline thing and i broke out into an allergic reaction… I started to spread a rash bad ��
Great advice, I fell and have lots of bad bruises. I am in pain and will try your tips.
is it just me or does he look like the guy from alvin and the chipmunks?
thanks for the video hopefully the bruise will go away
You did fine. you didn’t talk to much. what are you supposed to sit and stare at us. Wtf lol �� there are videos of cats shitting on YouTube. Your video is fine. I’m supportive of anyone’s videos. cause we’re all just trying to work! good job!
Crap currently I am heading to 4 weeks. Went over the bars on a trail. My right thigh landed on a rock. I am still limping and the muscles around the knee cap all hurt. They seem to like to spasm and that drives the pain. ER room said no cracks or breaks. So I just keep waiting for the muscles to calm back down and heal.
Sorry,you really shouldn’t be telling people to put the cayenne on their bruise!Will it make it heal faster?…that remains to be seen.However,you SHOULD be telling people that the cayenne will actually make the bruise look TWICE as bad after they do it!I know…I tried it last week!Oh,and so does apple cider vinegar,and turmeric!They may make it heal faster..but temporarily make them look WORSE for a few days!!
Wow I never even knew that these tips even existed but now I know
Ima try this but I feel like it’s gunna hurt rlly bad like my bruise is huge ��
Advil, Tylenol, etc., will not usually carry along woes if they’re not used for too long. Their antiplatelet effects are not their strong point; they’re really effective against pain and inflammation. So, don’t worry about them; they can be used sparingly if needed. I’m an M.D.
Why do many of my bruises still hurt even 1-2 years later?
I never iced them but I’ve been icing all my bruises recently.
They still hurt on my hand, forearm, ankle, and knee.
Thanks for any help, I’ve tried researching everywhere.
Thanks I have a bump on the back of my head because it smashed into the pointy edge of a mettle cabnent preventing me from sleeping, it feels like laying on a toothpick
I had two bruises around my right eye, one just above the brow and one under the eye. I used the back end of a comb since the comb bristles would hurt. I used ointment to lubricate it so it did t tear up my face. It worked pretty well!!
Let’s just say I did the Kylie lips challenge and now I got a huge bruise around my lips
Wish I would have seen this earlier. I made the same mistakes. (Fell on my knee cap a week ago). But could still walk. I took Advil and tried to still exercise. That just made it all worse. (I’m a big dummy too. Lol) The blood pooled all down my leg and into my ankle. My leg now looks like it’s been trampled by an elephant. It looks horrendous. Knee still swollen and very tender so will be going to the doc tomorrow to double check it isn’t a fracture. Hopefully just a very bad bone bruise. Anyway, thanks for the video. It just confirmed my own mistakes and why this injury went downhill.

When I do manage to get a bruise, I find that massaging the affected area with a little bit of Bio-Oil speeds up healing. Doesn’t take much and I usually massage it in for a couple of minutes before I go to bed. I recently had a really nasty bruise on the back of my hand and this method helped it to disappear within a week at the most.
i have a huge bruise on my elbow from falling skating and I cant tell if its bad or not I fell on it like 4 times in one day the swelling has gone down to almost none but the bruise is almost 3 inches accross
Is it necessary to ice, since we’re in quarantine no job, I’m too lazy to put on my eye
I was pretending I’m a unicorn with my candy thing and when I took it off there was a bruise
Hey Edclimbing down out of a trailer, I came down on the tip of a fork lift blade. It didn’t cut me, but the force of my body weight pressing it in and down into my right hamstring really hurt and felt like a nerf football was under my leg while sitting. My whole leg is bruised with a swollen ankle too. Any advice?

I have a hematoma on the side of my thigh, due to a fall on a sharp edge of coffee table yet only a minor scratch as skin was covered in fabric. The center of the hematoma is hardening near the scratch area. The size of this hematoma is the size of 4 of my fists. Would scraping (gu sha) be helpful?
Helpful Dig can you please tell me how to remove a bruise That my friend pinched��
Someone ran into my thigh when playing soccer, for the first 5 days it was painful but calm, but after that the pain started coming down on to my ankle and feet and a bit in my calf. Is that okay?
Why does the tape help? I landed on a rock right leg middle to the outer thigh. Knee swelled all kinds of pain. X-ray nothing broken. where I landed on a rock. It feels much better. But down around the knee muscles. Crap they are painful and when sleeping I move my leg and I know a heavy rain of burning pain is coming. Swelling in the knee is way down and the color is getting back to color. Its been 3 weeks towards 4. Bending leg painfully. How do I get the muscles around the knee to chill out? They are what is causing me pain in my knee.
I’ve been making those same exact mistakes for a week now �� oops. I guess I should now try the Tylenol, icing, and rest. I guess I will see how the next weeks goes.
I’m a gymnast. Following a fall on the corner of the beam I was diagnosed with a haematoma. It has been about 8 days after the injury to my right thigh (which was completely bruised from top to bottom of the thigh) the bruise has healed but I have a lump from the impact of the injury, which if the skin above it is pulled or tightened causes a ripping feeling. Is the ripping feeling caused by the muscle fibres sticking together when healing? How long will the lump (clot?) take to heal? Thanks!
Yeah got a massive one on my leg from being hit by a car. Should be healed in 3 more weeks. Just feels gross sloshing about under the skin.
Is it normal to get a bruise when wearing kt tape during a workout? Because this happened to me last week on my shin but only the leg I was wearing it on. I thought it wld help avoid shin splints but it made my shin swell& bruise:(
I’ve been using vitamin c toothpaste and ice and it’s already down a lot
If the swelling is closer to the knee should I just use a shorter piece of tape?
I was playing basketball, and a knee ran right into my thigh exactly where you put the stickers in the video. And my leg is in pain, hard to move. Any suggestions
I fell roller skating and did the same series of mistakes that you listed. I had never had a bruise behave this way—the burning and large blister-like goose egg that formed under the tissues. I was worried about the extensive healing time (it’s been one week of leg bubble). Your video is helpful and reassuring.
What kind of tapes (blue adhesives) are those? where do you get those?
