bruised one, took 2 months to get better. a week later bruised the other one, took another two months. bruised heels blow. But i found out that the reason they take so long to heal is because the blood pools in the bottom of your foot. so try to soak the foot in warm water and massage it to try and get the blood moving out of there and new fresh blood in. and try to keep it elevated at night. best of luck to you.
