Has anyone got any good remedies for bruises? I went to a wedding do last night and have quite a few bruises this morning.

Whereabouts? (the bruises I mean)
What problem are you trying to solve? Pain? Reduced handsomeness? Wanting to avoid people knowing that you were chinned by the bride?
Pain on the lower back mainly. I have not been handsome since my face was burnt off some years ago.

Probably the simplest is to take some anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort.
If you fell or something like that, then there is the possibility of having pulled/twisted some muscles and that would also be helped by this treatment. Watch for dosage and known allergies of course.
Tell here to take of her stilletoes.
Cold compress may ease pain or swelling for a while. Other than that you'll have to let nature take it's course and absorb the blood that has got where it shouldn't be and heal the minor tissue damage.
Arnica cream is reputed to have some effect.
Adam you should know it's generally considered bad form to try to pull the bride

Taken some earlier. I did not fall, my mother knocked me down in the car park when she started the car when it was in gear. I missed the "everyone on the dancefloor for a fight" bit of the night

The message from "ARWadsworth" contains these words:
Arnica
Warmth and gentle massage to help disperse the blood. Arnica's supposed to be traditional for bruises.

Witch Hazel.
Nice one. No ice pack but a pack frozen peas have helped.

Arinca it might be, but where the hell do you get it on a Sunday? I am out of (and never have had) any of the ingredients needed

What an interesting life you lead Adam :-)
Sorted, I can get some in the morning.
Cheers

"Face burnt off", are you serious?
Don't say it was another bizarre mother and car related accident at a wedding?
Yes. But fortunately not as badly as Simon Weston was 25 years and 2 days ago.

One can judge the success of a social occasion by how many ambulances turn up...
Or is it police cars?
