I had surgery two days ago on my wrist. whats the best for swelling and brusing. pain is under control.?

There's nothing you can do about the bruising. That goes along with surgery. You can help the swelling, however, by applying an ice pack for 10 minutes, then off 10 minutes, then on and so on for an hour at a time. Then take a break and repeat the above three or four times a day. That should help quite a bit. At the end you stated, "pain is under control?" Did you mean to put the question mark there? If your pain is not under control, call your Doctor and tell him you either need some pain medication (if he told you to take something over the counter) or that the medicine he gave you is not working well (he might give you something stronger then). If you don't want to go that route, try advil. It would work the best on your pain. Good luck to ya.
