To start with - my thanks to all of you who have participated in this mega-thread. This is a priceless resource that you have all come together to create. I have read a lot about missed shots, abscess, hitting nerves, etc. I have seen many people asking for help with bruising, discoloration, pain etc. Something that has always helped me is Arnica cream or gel, applied liberally to the area about 3 or 4 times a day. I usually buy it at a local health food store but recently saw it being sold at Target. Med spas tend to recommend it for use after injectable cosmetics and fillers to shorten the healing time as well as lessen the bruising, swelling and pain. I've had great success with it for bruises, pain and also with a slightly missed shot -* but please, take it seriously when I say always use hygienic practices and Arnica gel / cream should NEVER EVER be used as a substitute for medical care for abscesses or any suspected infection or injury.* I hope this may prove helpful. Stay safe!
