kikal0t Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 In karate or any MA u gotta expect ur share of bumps and bruises! the question is how long on average does it take to heal? at the moment i have a green swollen shin (a month), purple upper arm and side of knee (both 2 weeks) and they still haven't gone away! Its really annoying bcos I dont want to miss classes bcos of this but those areas can get hit again in sparing, grappling etc. what can i do to heal quicker or is it just normal? what does every1 else do?
bushido_man96 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Everyone heals differently. I would use some ice and compressions on your sore spots. That will help, I think. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
lordtariel Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Are you talking about the pain from the bruises or the time it takes for the discoloration to go away? There's no place like 127.0.0.1
kikal0t Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 Thanx Bushido man, dont know about the ice just yet as the weather here in england is cold enuf as it is!To answer lordtariel, i would say both but more importantly the pain as I wouldnt mind the discolouration that much if it didnt go hand in hand with the pain.
baronbvp Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 A month of pain and discoloration on your shin sounds excessive to me, especially if it doesn't seem to be healing much. Have you been seen by a doctor? Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move.
