Bromelain and Amica long term to combat "swell hell"?

May 6, 2011
Asked By:cjl in Texarkana, TX

Any of you vets out there...did you continue taking Bromelain and Amica throughout the 3-6 month period to combat "swell hell"? My thinking is that it should help then if it helps in the beginning. But, is it safe to take fairly long term? Any comments appreciated. I am having a TT May 26 and I so want to prevent swell hell if possible.
