Great info--thanks!
I recently had some dermatological procedures to try to erase the effects of 3 surgeries, chronic pain and sleeplessness since my MVA. The dermatologist prescribes arnica pills to prevent/reduce bruising--and eating a whole pineapple the day before the procedure. She also advised a friend to take the arnica prior to her hysterectomy. Info to consider prior to surgery...
