Hey girls, I’ve heard about arnica and people taking it before and after surgery. Just wondering how many and how often a day were people taking it and has it worked? Xx
I bruise so easily, i was taking 30c arnica tablets religiously, 4 times a day, 2 weeks before my op and still came out with huge bruises that lasted 4 weeks unfortunately! I know it really helps some people so may be worth trying hun 🙂 xx
Hi,
I didn’t bother with arnica tablets, for the simple fact I forgot to buy them!
Fortunately I didn’t bruse at all. Everybody is different and I’ve heard it works well for some people. Xx
My ops in a week so thought I might aswell try them they probably won’t work cos I’m the same as you I bruise so easily but its worth a try if for nothing ha. Yeah I think it’s gonna be see what happens. Thanks girls ☺️ Xx
I bought arnica 30c and used them a couple of days before op and for 4 days after till I ran out, I’m 9dpo and on my 1 week check up I barely had any bruises so I recon it did help as I isually bruise quite easily x
Hey I used them. Started taking the day before surgery. Took 2 every time I had my pain meds. I bruise easily and have to admit I had minimal bruising. Was just more on my ribs one side. I got mine from holland and barret. They cost like £6. So even if they don’t work it’s not like you’ve wasted a huge amount of money, but I would say it’s worth giving them ago, if it eases your discomfort a little bit. Best of luck with your surgery. Xx
I can’t recommend anrnica 30 highly enough…. I’m one of those people who bruise like a peach… I’m always plastered in briuses.. started taking arnica a week before op and until a week after and amazingly I didn’t bruise even slightly!! Couldn’t believe it. Really worked for me xx
Thanks girls! I’ve been taking them for the last couple of days so fingers crossed. I’m the exact same bruise so easily but like you say for how cheap they are it doesn’t matter if they don’t work. I’ll give anything a go aha xx
