How To Cure A Large Hematoma Causing Pain Due To A Split In The Vein?

My wife had a blood test 22 days ago and they split her vein which caused a large heamotoma which is causing her a lot of pain. She has applied ice and arnica cream but this has very limited effect. Touching the area is very painful and she is finding it difficult to drive and dress and undress. She cannot take ibuprofen or codeine as it causes constipation. Can you suggest something.
