A couple of weeks...: If you have soreness it should generally get better in a week or two. Sometimes there could be extensive bruising which may take a couple of weeks to resolve. If you have worsening pain or swelling it would be a cause for concern.

Bruising is common: Typically soreness should last only a few days whereas bruising might persist for weeks. Reabsorption of blood between facial layers takes time (the cause of the bruising). If femoral nerve trauma or irritation is present the pain in the groin might persist for some time ( neuropathic).
