Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Please Help answer some questions? Recently I fell and broke my ankle; I needed emergency surgery to correct the bones. I had three places that broke, and they inserted screws in all three places to help hold the ankle together. All six of the screws are permanently in my ankle. I am in Physical Therapy now, and my therapist used a wonderful beeswax, mineral oil type balm for the stiffness, and to massage the muscles in my ankle. (The incisions healed great, and I'm using a cane now.) Most of the information on the label of course was not available, it was a trademarked compound, but it was a wonderful petroleum type balm, and it did say beeswax and mineral oil on the ingredients. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make something like this? I do have scars left from the surgery, and I had the surgery in February this year, so I don't want to make anything that would give me an infection due to the incisions on both sides of the ankle. I'd really appreciate any help. I will go thru the files and look, but thought I'd ask some professionals on this list for some advice before attempting to make anything.
