Why would a bruise appear after 5 days?

Asked by Crumpet (1805points) May 9th, 2013

5 days ago I had a go of a boxer arcade machine at a bar. (the type that measures how hard you punch it)
I don’t think I made a fist properly when I hit it, and I’ve been in in pain since.
I couldn’t use my hand for 2 days afterwards, but can use it now, although it is uncomfortable.

The thing is, it has only started to bruise today.

Is there any reason why it has taken 5 days for any bruising to appear?
