Swamped a Canoe, hauled my hiney back in, now...

At summer camp this last week, I took a class in paddle craft safety. (luckily good for 3 years!) We had to swamp the canoe and get back in.... to say the least I am not built for getting back in... I have BRUISES... not just little colorful spots... HUGE BRUISES on my arms, thighs, and calves!!! The only parts of my body that escaped bruising were my face and parts covered by the life jacket. I have soaked in Epsom salts, put on the bruise be gone stuff from Walgreen's and been very tender with them. My problem is that they have knots in them... is this normal with BIG bruises? Any good suggestions on how to hurry their healing?

Thanks for any suggestions! :-)

Have you consulted your doctor? I have had bruises that had knots in them before and it just took time for them to heal. But I would ask your doctor to make sure. I saw the bruises you're talking about and they are HUGE! Good luck and take care!
