Today in sailing I had a collision with another boat and I came out on the bad side. The other boat, when it hit my boat, also hit my thigh/butt hard. Now I have like a huge red line where it hit me, it is a bit swollen and it hurts to go from standing to sitting. And it like twitches.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the swelling/pain?
Like nicole ^ says, R.I.C.E. is probably the best thing to do. I'd also take some ibprofin to relieve some swelling. If that doesn't help it, schedule an appointment with your doctor.

i remember i sprained my wrist one time and i was freaking out because it was about three times the normal size. In about three days, the swelling was still the same. Then on the forth day the swelling was almost completely gone. I have no idea why swelling goes down so much in one night
