Badly Broken Ankle After a Fall

A polo player's wife fell down an embankment and badly broke her ankle. It was encased in plaster to hold it while they waited for the swelling to go down before doing an MRI. She reacted badly to the painkillers and stopped taking them. I saw her 4 days after the accident and, with a very sceptical audience, played the purple over the plaster. After about 10 minutes she said it felt like ants running over her leg, and then (in great astonishment) declared it had stopped throbbing. She used the purple every day until her hospital visit and had no pain during that time.
