HI
Well come to HCM
If you are on blood thinner then the swelling would be more prominent and this would take little more time to come around the main care is infection there should not be any infection and you need to be careful for that, on prophylactic base antibiotic can be taken, keep injured part elevated, anti-inflammatory is most advisable, hope this helps.
