Members Taustin Powers Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 So last night some jerkass in the club didn't quite know how to behave on the dancefloor and didn't understand that people go a little crazy to heavy music. Bottom line, he got really pissed at people slam dancing, and I got punched in the face, and now the part right underneath my right eye is incredibly purple and swollen. How to get rid of facial bruises? People keep telling me that these things last like 2 weeks plus, changing colors and everything. Is there anyways to accelerate this process? I start my new job in 10 days, and I really don't want to look like I just got out of a fight. (This was a first for me, by the way. I'm really not a fighting kind of guy...) P.S.: I know the obvious joke response to my thread title is to "drink the shiner", so let's just pretend that joke has already been made...
Members willsellout Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Not really man. It's a bruise and bruises take time to heal. If I were you I would ice it right now, and then tomorrow apply heat to the area. It should limit swelling and then increase circulation, respectively. Also if you can, sleep with your head elevated. That should limit the pooling of fluid. It should take no more than a week to be healed if you follow this routine. I've had a few from when I kickboxed and this was how I handled mine. Good luck, sorry you got punched:D Dan
Members More Cowbell Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 I've got some bad bruising on my hand from the other night.. Do you think I could use the same technique to help rid myself of this awfulness?
Members willsellout Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Yeah it pretty much works on any bruising. It just limits swelling and then increases circulation so that any fluid build up gets moving again. Thats always what I do. Ice, elevate, and heat. Dan

You should have seen this guy on the dancefloor. He was being such a JERK!

Members Emprov Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Willsellout has some good suggestions. Aside from those, do you have a GF? If so, borrow some makup. If not, raid your mom's makup cabinet.
Members zenfascist Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 I hope you clocked him right back. {censored}er should stay out of the pit or not come out in the first place.
Members ezstep Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 That was YOU? Sorry. Time. It takes a little time to clear up. RX. . . not your picking hand, I hope.
Members ToeJamFootball Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 lol same joke twice, completley oblvious too, hahah
Members ezstep Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Well, my first choice was a joke about dancing with other men . . . .

I was at a concert a while back and watched the pit get "created", basically some doofus worked his way to front center and started slamming the hell out of everyone, apparently he and those who followed decided it was big enough when they got to me, I seemed to be in the first ring of people surrounding the pit. If he would have slammed me, I would have clocked him, I went to watch a show, not slam around in the pit. I don't know where the people he displaced went.

Members tcatsdad Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 The only thing you can do, and it's not much, is keep your head elevated. Wear your injury as a sign of pride. In the future you'll have the ammo to spin tall tales about the incident, and that will bring happiness. Often times male bonding consists of comparing scars.
Members syciprider Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Get another one to match.It will then look like you've been in an accident and not a fight.
Members willsellout Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Just say your are an abused spouse..tell them your wife/GF hit you. DAn
Members tenyearsgone Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Go old school and use a piece of meat, if you can afford to use it for that, but it works well.You can try here for suggestions: http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1943.html

Members embellisher Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 Originally posted by FreestyleIntruder That's great but do they make a meat-free alternative? Either use one of those garden burger patties, or a slice of extra firm tofu.

Hey, that's cool if you came to watch the band; that's what most people come to shows for. But some people came to smash into one another. Just understand that if it's heavy music then there's a good chance that there may be people bouncing around. If you see it start to "create" (and what you described is usually how it starts ), then you need to watch yourself or keep your distance. I'm sure if he ran into you, it would've been an accident and you could have shoved him right back in and he probably would've been thinking "hey thanks". But NO punching, that's what an asshole would do, and you'd probably end up in a fight and everyone would hate you for fucking up the show.
Members Crescent Seven Posted January 21, 2006 Members Posted January 21, 2006 I've had shiners last 2 weeks, I've had them go away in a few days...Ice, iron supplements, blow jobs, they all work pretty well.C7
