Recently a boy about fifteen years old appeared in my office on crutches, about forty-eight hours after he had had a laceration of his right ankle sutured in one of the emergency rooms. It was a small laceration, about a half-inch long, but it hurt him so much he could not put his weight on his foot. The wound was healing nicely, with no sign of infection, but it was extremely tender to the touch. I assumed, since there was no tendon involvement, that there had been involvement of nerve tissue to an undue degree. The boy was instructed to keep a soft pad of cloth saturated with castor oil on the wound overnight for the next few nights, kept in place with an elastic bandage. The pain was nearly gone in twenty-four hours, absent in forty-eight hours, and he was playing football (against orders) in seventy-two hours – before the sutures were removed.
