I took mine for a week before hand, the dosage that you have said. My bruising came out really quickly and was awful, but only lasted a couple of days and was gone again. Not sure the arnica helped but I'll never know!! X

Re: help me out taking arnica
Weirdly I was told not to take Arnica as it increased risk of bleeding.... Seems every surgeon has a different preference. xx

I used it just for the 7 days, 3prior and 3after. Hubs used it too for his acl surgery. Both if us bruised massively. There's no proof, but then there's also no harm. If go by the pack instructions than your pcc, she's in no way medically trained.
