While mowing my lawn I rolled my ankle. I have had bad ankles since high school, as a matter of fact, I can walk on flat ground and roll them, that's how weak they are. Anyway, like usual it swelled up to the size of a tennis ball and turned dark purple at the bottom of my foot. I had just received my pain patch and thought, "what the heck, I'll see if this thing really takes away the pain." Slept with it inside my stocking placed vertically along the outside of my ankle. I woke up the next morning and not only was the pain greatly reduced but the swelling was gone!!!!! I'd give it 5 stars but I still had a little discomfort, but nothing is perfect. The best part is I didn't take any Advil (like usual) and the healing time seemed to be reduced as well.
