Put Ice on the Bruise to Keep the Swelling Down.

Wow, as an EMT, I'd like to know how high you fell from? The butt (gludious maximus), is our largest and safest cushion. You must have taken quite a fall. Sorry, it's early and I don't mean to gawk. Put ice on it, (not directly on the skin) for about 10 min at a time. Ibuprofen for the pain (not Tylenol), and you will be OK in about a week. The bruise might not go away that quickly, but in time it will. Dang.

Nope you'll be fine... Just apply a bag of frozen peas a couple of times a day. Also when you can touch the area use simple self massage to dissipate blood trapped in tissues...
