Thanks Dave. I will try the Bromelain. The DMSO really kept the initial swelling down. At 1.5 grams a dose, I will need to look for a source of bulk Bromelain. The tablets I do have won't get me there for long. - Steve

Sure, use the DMSO, but also start taking Bromelain heavily at first and then tapering off to a maintenance dose for a while. Start with 1.5 grams 3 times a day and then taper off to about 1.5 grams per day. Take on a relatively empty stomach with water. Doses aren't critical, as long as you take enough, you may have to experiment. As for most inflammation, it works best if taken immediately, if you wait too long you are already inflamed, but in the case of a sprained ankle, it may not be too late to start even after a few days.

Would taking extra CS aid in healing the sprain? - Steve N
