Braced Bending Bruise

[cjsta]

I did a little show for some coworkers on Friday afternoon and I got an extremely tough adjustable wrench. I had gotten it after a fight but two days later my leg looks like this...

It started out as a painful swollen mass then the swelling went down and the color started comeing in. Has anyone else experienced this? Know any good remidies from faster healing?

The strange part is my right leg is fine, it's just my left.

That looks MEAN! TIM T is a GOOD brace bender so he can answer you. But as for my answer, if the thing was smaller I will probably rest and some ice on it. But the swollen part is huge and you need to go to a doctor. Thats my opinion.

that is some bruise you've got there!!! i've only seen bruises like that after a day paint balling, or after being hit by a cricket ball or something.

Sorry Alawadhi, Tim T hasn't ever had anything like that. I don't bruise easy at all. I'd have to get hit by a sledge hammer to get a bruise like that.

Does it hurt very bad? Hurt when you walk or anything like that? I've seen on these crazy TV shows where some of these skate boarders and such can have some pretty bad bruises and be just fine.

Do you rest the ends of the wrench straight on your legs? You must've busted a pretty good blood vessel but if it keeps hurting I'd wonder if I cracked my femur which I've always heard is extremely painful.

Don't know buddy I'm just a postal worker. I'd say if it isn't alot better in a few days or starts hurting or you run a fever I'd hit the ol' hospital.

Be careful.

I didn't mean you had this injury. I meant you are a good brace bender so you might know injuries that occur while bending brace. Like a brick breaker when he injured his hand he will ask another brick breaker how to treat his hands.

I don't buise real easily myself that is what is so weird about this one. I've literally bent dozens of wrenches now with no more than a quarter sized bruise at most or no bruise at all. Same goes for horseshoes and spikes. Like I said my right leg is fine.

It doesn't hurt but it does itch a little and the color is improving already. A doctor told me it's superficial, that's a plus.

No, the ends are at an angle after a good kink and I was cranking my wrists like normal, just with more force due to wrench toughness.

Alawadhi,

I was just kidding with my response.

Chris, like you said in the other thread, I guess it's just a freak thing. Did you tell the doctor how you did it? I bet it would be hard to find a medical doctor that would give this hobby their seal of approval.

Glad it's getting better,

Tim
