I had a patella realignment in December last year and I'm also a remedial massage therapist. Initially I used coconut oil and also Palmer's cocoa butter/vitamin E cream (predominantly for the skin), then once the incision was healed I also used a massage balm that contained arnica oil (once a week only and it's good for deeper bruising and swelling).
Arnica is an amazing herbal, but you should do some research if you intend to use it. You should only use a product that contains dilute amounts of arnica and not the undiluted essential oil. You should also try a patch test on your skin to make sure you have no reaction. It's not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have eczema.
As Shirley mentioned cypress oil is also really good as it's beneficial for the skin and helps alleviate muscle spasms.
Good Luck!

Arnica oil is a bit different; it should never be taken internally as it's toxic, and even through skin, overexposure can lead to skin irritation, vomiting and gastrointestinal disorders. It's best used as an ingredient in commercially available creams.
