jessica_1675 - Yes, the bruises and swelling should go down, but the bruises may change color as they go through the healing process. Bruises result from broken blood vessels, which would indicate that your rubbing was pretty active. Ice or cold packs can help to reduce swelling, but might not be very comfortable for you. If the bruising doesn't go away in about four weeks, or if you develop additional bruising, seek advice from your health provider. In the meantime, you're wise to decide to refrain from this for a while and to let your body heal.
