Bump to bruise

[Cman420]

Hello,

I got an injury that isnt mentioned on the forums or i misread the description. I was doin PE' and i stuck to my routine. Its only squeezes and some ulis as i break between squeeze sets. its nothing major. But anyways, i am conscious of bruises as i just had one. So, when i was done i noticed a purple bump, kinda hard, there was no pain. and i just hot wrapped it and the bump went away but now there is a bruise. can anyone tell me what it might be? besides the the bruise part, what is the bump?/ im just going to take a break and hot wrap it, when i woke up i put a wrap on for a few minutes. It looks like it is near a vein, it is located on the top. and its only the size of a pea.. Im just curious as to what might of caused it since ive stuck to the same routine the last few weeks? like, what type of exercises might have contributed to it?

thanks

I have been getting the same thing from my squeezes in the last month. It started when I increased the intensity of my girth workout. Now I get them almost every time I do squeezes. I get them around the base. I haven't let it stop me from working out. I have been putting arnica cream on it right after my workout and then again later in the day. It really helps speed up the healing

I'm not saying u shouldn't take a break. I'm just telling u what my experience has been with that.
Let me know if u find a solution to this problem

Since I have been increasing my squeezes I have also been getting the same spots.I have been doing the same thing as you Mathew it really helps. If you feel you need a break take it,however, if you don't want to maybe lower the intensity on your squeezes. :)

big al talks a little bit about it in the injury forum. some people actually drain the blood with a needle bfore it turns into a bruise. im not to worried. there getting smaller and healing quicker every week. i dont think it will be a issue much longer

Hey thanks for responses.

Ya im going to take a little break, since it is a bruise aside from the bump part. A bruise is still a bruise and i dont have arnica. Ive PEd on a bruise and it just made it worse. Im going to buy some arnica tomrrow, i went today to buy some and i forgot to grab some cash. 2-3 days off is better then a week off .

How often do you apply arnica? and does it stink? and how long does it take befoe bruise is healed when it is applied? 2 days? and do you apply it just to the bruise? a little splot?

I got school and im to busy to PE this weekend so ill kill my PC instead. just warm wrap and take it easy. Better safe then sorry and i dont feel like sticking a needle in my dick.

thanks again.
