Take a good handful of comfrey leaves, aka knitbone, scrunch up and stuff down sock. Hopefully, the bruised ankle will have recovered sufficiently by the weekend.
Apparently, it's all down to the 5-ureidohydantoin, aka allantoin, a chemical compound present in the urine of most mammals, which is presumably what gives the comfrey brew in the water butt, used for feeding plants, such a strong pong. Allantoin is used in a lot of skin preparations and helps tissue repair.
