The abdominal: muscles can be bruised just as well as any other "body part" and bruises take a while to heal! I assume that a "deeper" injury would have caused a great deal more symptoms than you describe... Apply heat and avoid Aspirin/NSAIDS (Take TYLENOL) and if symptoms persist over 10 days-2 weeks see your PCP for possible Abdominal CT Scan! Hope this helps! Dr Z
