I found the co-codamol did nothing but i do have a high thresehold for medication due to being on painkillers for a long time, i took paracetamol, ibuprofen and codiene for the first week then just ibuprofen and the odd codiene when i needed it. I statred taking arnica after my surgery for swelling and bruising and i’ve had next to no bruising at all just a little round my wounds x
