A member asked:
To avoid complications, for how many days should injured (due to blunt trauma) muscles with minor pain be rested and off pain-exercebating activities?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contusion: Damage caused by contusions of muscle require resting that muscle group until all pain and tenderness have resolved. Ecchymosis(black and blue discoloration) may take longer to completely clear, but full activity can be resumed before that without further damage as long as there is no pain on use or tenderness.
