Feel help: I went paintballing last weekend and I have bruises all over me! - Help.com

I went paintballing last weekend and I have bruises all over me!

They just keep getting worse as the days go on. What can I do to make them go away or atleast feel better? Thank you.

Ack!! Sorry about that honey! I bruise VERY easily so I’m used to having bruises all the dang time. As James said cold comressed help a little with the discomfort. As does Advil or Tylenol. Not much else you can do.
As for the unsightly-ness, find a good cover-up or concealer (make-up) and use that.

Make sure to cover up with proper “armor” next time. I always go paintballing with two pairs of shorts and long sweat pants on, along with two shirts and a big sweatshirt over that. It’s a bit bulky and warm, but it prevents the paintballs from breaking on you and spreads out the hits so they don’t do as much focused damage.

Not much you can do except let heal. I love paint balling… did you play at a indoor course or a outdoor course?

aloe….. put some aloe on the sore spots and keep a good layer of it on for awhile and it will ease the swelling and pain
