Me too! I use Arnicare (arnica roll-on gel) that resolves bruising and seems to help with healing, in general, in about 5-7 days. I am back in my garden after a late winter introduction to PMR; thus, the bruised, scraped, and jabbed arms! My ankles, too, swell somewhat, and I have permanent discoloration above my ankles.

I am at 15 mg, tapering to 12.5 mg later this week. I then will go down to 10 mg. Then, I will taper 1 mg at a time over a long period. I appreciate hearing about everyone's experience. I am now pretty clear on what to expect and, hopefully, will be able to take the process in stride!
