Prayers and hugs for you. I do not put anything in my system anymore that I do not look up all the side effects and interactions. I love my doctor he  has been a good friend for more than ten years we used to work together. But when it comes to my body I am extra careful. Rick, my doctor  says I am a pain  in you know what to treat because he will suggest something and I will say no. I am so sorry  you have to hurt. Rest the leg it will heal on its own. Use hot packs made out of cabbage leaves or Comfrey, Just blanch the cabbage leaves and cool until they are the right temp to put next to the skin then wrap  them around the part of the leg that is hurting. I put the comfrey in very warm water and make a paste then in an old sock and put it on the sore spot. 

Making a Comfrey Poultice

What you’ll need:

<li>enough comfrey leaves to cover the affected area in a paste<li>Purified water in some form—preferably distilled water or spring water<li>a clean piece of gauze, large enough to cover the affected area<li>something like an Ace bandage to wrap around the gauze and a pin or tape to hold it in place<li>a blender or mortar and pestle<li>a saucepan

Grind
the leaves with a a mortar and pestle or place them in a blender with
about half as much purified water as leaves. Grind or blend away at the
comfrey and water until a paste is formed. If it’s too soupy, add more
leaves. Once you’ve got your leaves mashed in one way or another,
you’re ready to heat the paste. In a small saucepan, over very low heat
so as not to scald the herbs, heat your mixture to a comfortable,
soothing temperature, stirring constantly. Once the desired temperature
is achieved, spread the paste thickly onto the gauze, place the gauze
onto the wound, sprain, etc., and wrap with the bandaging material
securely around the gauze pad. (NOTE: If you have an open wound such as
a bite or gash, place a fresh gauze pad between the wound and the
poultice paste so as not to introduce debris into the wound. For a
scrape or scratch, direct introduction of the comfrey should be fine.)
Secure with a safety pin or other sturdy fastening, and leave in place
until the poultice has dried out, at which point you’ll want to replace
it with a fresh one.

Enjoy continuing to plan your miniature herbal pharmacy, and watch for the next installment: Fennel, the staff of Dionysus.

 Most things that will help the internal pain will not be good with your stomack. You might try taking your  stomack medicine and some tyenol at the same time. I told a friend of mine who was going to her doctor daily to use this method on a sprained ankle she pood and pod me but finally hurt so bad that she tried it and it worked. Love to you, Judi
