Bad to the Bone.: What is more important is just how bad your body thinks the injury is. The bruising tells you that a somewhat serious injury has occurred. The swelling is your body's way of trying to stabilize the injury so maximum healing potential can occur. The pain is reminding you that despite all efforts the body is putting forth, it is not enough. The pain is an attempt to dissuade you from further harm.
