Do you recommend taking bromelain for post-op swelling?

Asked By:Hopefulinky in Kentucky, KY

I have heard that bromelain (found in pineapple) is good for swelling and inflammation. Would this be a good idea to take in supplement form to aid in the resolution of post-op swelling. Does anyone suggest this to their patients and have seen positive results?
