i have read on here about something to ease the bruising but cant remember what it is...i think it starts with an A...can someone please tell me what it is, where to buy it and when to start taking it?

my ps called today and moved my anchor tt to dec.21 and im so excited and nervous! 16days away and counting!

I think what you are referring to is Arnica. After my BA I used Vitamin K cream and that worked very well!

Yeah for the TT, I had my mini TT on Wednesday and am waiting to see if I get bruising.

Arnica is great.  I had to take it 2 days prior to the surgery and now until the bottle is empty 3x's a day.  My PS gave it to me at my pre-op.  Good luck on your surgery. 

 Where do you get it?

I ordered mine from makemeheal.com

My PS gave it to me at my pre-op.

is it a cream/lotion or pill?

You can get it at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.  Bromelain is good for swelling too so I would check into that as well.  I took that for a while after my surgery.  I also ate lots of pineapple because it has bromelain in it as well.   Arnica Montana is good for bruising and pain and has some anti-inflammatory benefits.

It is like little pellets.  They go under your tongue and taste sweet.  I do 5 3 times a day.  I really think I look good.  Granted I have the binder on still, but so far so good.
