3 days ago I was at a graduation party for one of my friends were all hicks and all if you dont figure it out by the story but here, they had a mechanical bull and I rode it a ton the the last three hours I rotated turns with another girl, I have huge bruises all over my legs especially my upper thighs, they are very puffy and knotted, and also keep growing. They are very dark purple with blue lines in them. I have never had a bruise like this before I am a barrel racer and a pole bender and so I hit barrels and poles and have had bruises big like this but none that grow in size should I go to the doctor or should I wait a while longer? Also any hints to cover them up or get rid of the pain would be very helpful because i can barely walk with them.

It sounds like a nasty bruise though so I think the best course of action would be to go to your doctors to have them take a look and advise you further - especially since, as you said, they've become very puffy and knotted. The last time I had a bruise like that was on my lower back from being attacked and I was made to have a tetanus shot. :| Either way, there's no harm in popping in to see your doctor just to ensure everything is okay soI suggest doing that for certain. :] As for covering them up that part I'm not really an expert on. You might be able to use some form of make-up or cream but before doing this getting your doctors advice would be advisable (incase putting such stuff on the bruise prevent the healing process and such).
