To treat a bone bruise, there are few things you can do. You can ice it, no more than 20 minutes at a time, and without having the ice directly on your skin. You can elevate it, to help reduce the swelling. The ice will help reduce swelling as well. You can take ibprofen, which will help with the pain and with the swelling. Let it rest... it is extremely easy to re-injure the area and cause even more damage, and a more painful bone bruise. It is also recommended that you do NOT wrap it. Bone bruises can take days to weeks to recover from, depending on the severity of the injury. Traumatic bone bruises can take months to heal.

∙ 11y agoIce should be applied to bruises especially when the injury first happens. Leave it on for twenty minutes, then off twenty minutes, then twenty more minutes of ice. Then wait an hour and if you want, repeat the process.
Ice will contract the blood vessels and reducing the bleeding and swelling.
Then it's recommended two or three days after the injury to apply heat to help speed the healing process. Watch the area and if the bruising gets worse with heat then the vessels aren't healed yet and you should wait longer before applying heat.

∙ 13y agoThe only way to be 100% sure is to have a high density MRI. You cannot see a bruised bone in a normal x-ray.
symptoms are severe pain, swelling, and occasionally (but not always) discoloration of the affected area.
to treat a bone bruise you need to ice the area, rest, and use pain medication to minimize discomfort.

How do you fix a bruised bone?
Bruised bones are the result of internal bleeding. It would make no difference if you wrapped them, however if wrapped too tightly you will prevent the blood from circulating and it will take longer to heal. Wrapping with padding may prevent you from bruising the same bones again if the bruise is a result of an activity which you do on a regular basis. In summary wrap to avoid repetitive injury to the same bone(s), otherwise allow to heal naturally without wrapping. Note - I'm not a doctor, however played soccer to a high standard and have knowledge of the above.
