- Firstly, what exactly is a bruise and what causes the discoloration?
- Does your body typically recover fully from a bruise or is there some
- lasting effect? Is the common myth that repeated bruise/healing
- cycles will make an area less prone to future injury correct?
-
- (FYI, my shins and forearms are continuously bruised in Karate and I
- wonder about potential long term effects.)
