    Why does a bruise hurt?

    Question #78134. Asked by kisstherainbow. (Apr 01 07 10:55 AM)

    		A contusion is a bump that happens under the skin after an injury. This bump is caused when fluid collects under the skin. A hematoma is also a bump that happens under the skin after an injury. But this bump is caused by blood that collects under the skin. Each can be called a bruise. The pain is a result of this injury.

    		A bruise hurts because it was caused by an injury. The injury, usually caused by blunt impact, damages the capillaries.

    		Bruises hurt because it is a defensive measure of our brains to tell our bodies not to do that activity again that bruised us.
