You may want to research arnica. It can be procured in oral form or as a topical treatment. I don't have first-hand use of it, but was amazed at it's positive effects from a colleague at the gym who had just had knee replacement surgery. I saw him 2 weeks after the procedure and he had zero bruising and almost undetectable swelling. When I had ACL reconstruction, my whole lower leg was blue and swollen for the next 6 weeks or so (unfortunately using ibuprofen which I no longer use).
