My wisdom tooth question brings to mind another: Years back i had
arthroscopic knee surgery. It went fine, and afterwards Arnica (can't
remember if I used 200c or 1M) was all I needed for pain; it worked
great. But a week or so along I still had quite a lot of swelling, and
the arnica did not seem to be addressing that, so I finally resorted to
taking the prescribed anti-inflammatory (I wish I remembered what it
was), which did help. Can anyone offer thoughts about any remedy that
might have addressed the swelling (no bruising) more successfully, in
that situation?

I’ve had far better success with Arnica in 12c and 30c for physical trauma including post surgical swelling. Actually it worked too well for me several times. Had a nasty sprained ankle – hobbled into urgent care with no swelling and no bruising (days later) thinking that I should get an Xray since the pain was horrific (had 4 stress fractures) – Dr. took one look from the doorway and saw no bruising or swelling and pronounced I had sciatica and left the doorway telling me to go find a chiropractor. He never entered the room – so obviously – no exam what so ever. Had similar problem after breaking 3 toes – no bruising or swelling and the Dr. stood outside the room and pronounced I was just there for drugs and walked away. I convinced the PA to order an X-ray and the original Dr. would not speak to me after that.
Did you try the lower potencies?
