Contusion symptoms: Numbness and tingling are common after a contusion. Make sure you are massaging the area 2 minutes 3-4 times daily to remove unwanted soft tissue bruising. If you have wrapped on a bandage, the numbness/tingling could signify that it is too tight. Dr Rich Blake

5th ave. freeze out.: The RICE may be fine for limited periods of time, but too much cold can not only impede healing, but also actually damage tissue. It would be best to consult with a specialist to make sure you are not over treating your injury. Healing is an ongoing physiological response, guided by chemical signals that can be altered by external treatment applications.
