Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Caroline...I sure hope you are doing better. I fear this answer is too late to help you tonight. Aloe on it could help ALOT . You can also bruise Comfrey leaf and use that directly on it. Ice? Hope you get some sleep and are better in the morning.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well the aloe seems to have helped...thank goodness I have a kid with a quick head on his shoulders huh?? lol I don't have fresh comfrey...but last night I started an infusion of comfrey and arnica...I have to go out this morning but when I return I will be putting some on it as much of the day as I can. It hurts today....the ankle area is VERY tender to the touch...but the bruising is not as bad as it looked like it could have been...so I guess my son's quick reactions were right on! At the time I honestly had no idea what Aloe would do but just knew it wouldn't hurt. I couldn't bare the though of putting ice on it because of how raw the scrapes were...it was hurting so much because of the rawness when I tried ice...it felt more like burn than cool and comforting...so I didn't do it. But today it is just tender...making me limp...but not intolerable pain...and I slept moderately well...with my foot propped up a bit on a pillow to keep it from touching anything. Thanks...if I have any other major problems with it...I'll seek more counsel! lol ) Caroline Caroline...I sure hope you are doing better. I fear this answer is too late to help you tonight.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 sorry for the pain, sometimes when I do things like that I get more angry with myself for not being careful. If it is still sore this morning maybe a cool tea compress might help. Sounds painful. Vitamin E might help also if it is not bleeding. Hope you heal quickly.Caroline <ladyguinevere wrote: Well the aloe seems to have helped...thank goodness I have a kid with a quick head on his shoulders huh?? lol I don't have fresh comfrey...but last night I started an infusion of comfrey and arnica...I have to go out this morning but when I return I will be putting some on it as much of the day as I can.
