vitamin question

Recently I had the pleasure of falling on my arss!  Well it hurt pretty good when I did it but the 2' by 4" bruise is still there and nasty looking.  (Nothing funnier than a fat guy sprawled out in the snow, unless of course u are the fat guy. LOL)Before my surgery I never can remember a bruise lasting this long and looking this bad.  Question could it be a vitamin deficency and if so which one? Thanks JIm D

Doesn't sound like a vitamn deficeincy to me but, how long has it been there and does it stoill cause discomfort?  If it still hurst, you may have fractureda bone that will cause brusing.  There may be muscle damage or brsing that iel make it change more colors and last longer.  I torn my hamstring years ago and that sucker bruised nearly all the way around my thigh and tayed that way for at least a month.  The red and blue truned to black and blue andt then blue and yellow.  The yellow means it is starting to clear up and go away.  I had similar bruising when I tore the ligaments in my ankle and whe I broke my foot.  It took 3 weeks for the swelling to go down in my foot before they could cast it.  I guess there isn't as much cushion in our foot as there is in our butts!!  If its still a problem other than discoloration, I'd recommend an x-ray and a doctor looking at it to ensure there isn't something else damaged.
