A bone bruise is when a sudden jerk or movement is notioned to the ground, and a hard impact comes in contact with your body such as an ankle roll, becomes bruised in the bone. A bone bruise is summerized as a welt that is pushed into your bone. A bone bruise can last any where from a week to a few months...we are all different. Mine has been going on for about 2 weeks now.

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.

How can you heal a bruised tail bone?

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.
