Symptomatic: With your young age there is a low probability for anything really bad. Bruiseing is from a broken blood vessel. More likly a mild injury which was inconsequential at the time. Try aleve (naproxen) twice a day with food for a week. If not improving then go see your physician for exam and possible x-ray.
