After MiraDry I have swelling all down to my elbow and my wedding is in 6 weeks! Is this normal? How long for it to go down?

LetsBeHonest
I got MiraDry on March 9th and I was injected something for the numbing and to protect the tissue on the underarm area but now I am super swollen and it has reached all the way down to my elbow! i can move my arms and I do not feel pain. My arms just feel super heavy and look super big because of it. How long for it to go down? my wedding is in 6weeks can i take something to make this swelling to go down faster? is this normal??? please help!!
