any quick bruise remedies?
 

my buddy at the local boys & girls club asked me to do this 12&U game today, saying "all i wear is my mask". ive done other leagues this level where i've decided after the game that i could have done without. nothing came close to hitting me until the 2nd to last pitch. (from the kid that mentioned before the game that his fastball was 75mph). right above the knee cap. very pretty color purple & green, best part is the thread marks.

anybody know of a quick remedy for the stiffness and swelling?

So you worked the game wearing no protection other than a mask?

ice and leg guards

wow, I don't care what level it is, you catch a foul tip in the chest and you could be doing games in the afterlife my friend, but I don't think you'd find an assigner that would get you any games after what you died of.

Ice has always worked for me...a couple of aspirin couldn't hurt either

oh the pain, the pain of it all
 

oh, I forgot about the obviously mind-numbing pain of ANY ball taken to the cup, or lack thereof. think the catcher is gonna be there to block those balls for ya? good luck with that, I got high school-ers that can't block anything if it's not right at their glove

Super high doses of vitamin c

Ice will only help with swelling and pain. To assist with the dissepation of the discoloration (which is what I believe you originally asked) then a warm compress is what you want. Do this after the pain and swelling have subsided. Just like ice though, make sure you put something between your skin and the compress.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist.
