Resolution of the swelling and bruising is variable. Some people do not bruise at all while others have bruising for 2 weeks. People with sedentary jobs go back to work after 2 weeks. If you work at home or are not self-conscious about the swelling, then you can return after 4 days. If your job requires strenuous activity, then it may take as long as 3 to 4 weeks to return to work. Most people return to work within 2 weeks.
