No worries: Sorry that you've been waiting for an answer... I would not worry too much about a contusion that is only two days old, unless there is severe pain. Mild swelling, pain, and discoloration associated w/ bruising will subside on it's on w/o complications. At this point, if >2 days, you may wish to use heat, light massage (to dissipate swelling/ discoloration), or a disspersive pad. Hope this help.
