Constant Swelling On Arm With Fistula Since Fistula Placement Surgery. Natural Remedy?

Hi....my arm with the fistula has been swelling constantly and has been very painful ever since I had the fistula placement surgery about a month and a half ago? I ve tried ice and heat, but to no avail. I still have like knots underneath the injection sites and my arm is very inflamed all along the length of the entire incision. What can I use (preferably natural) that can take the swelling and pain away?......thanks.

Hello
Thanks for your query .Based on information that you have stated it appears that you have undergone a surgery to create a A.V fistula for routine Dialysis.The swelling that you have could be due to the infection at the site of incision and also due to Thrombophlebitis.Please take some antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicine after consulting your family Physician
