Hi.
As per your case history of numbness and bruise, you may be having nerve injury.
My treatment advice is -
1. Apply ice on bruise twice daily.
2. It takes time for nerve regeneration, so numbness will gradually fade away.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for faster results.
Thanks.
