I should have referred to the Bromelain strength in GDU (gelatin
dissolving units) instead of grams , but in my experience they came to
about the same thing eg: 600 GDU was about 500 milligrams.  You don't
really have to go in for "bulk," just one run-of-the-mill bottle should
do it.

        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.

        Don't know about CS helping, but you should keep some Bromelain
around for use in these cases.  
         
        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.

                I just sprained an ankle and applied DMSO to keep the
swelling down. Would taking extra CS aid in healing the sprain?
