After a few weeks of slow improvement, I put a pain patch on the sprained area for some relief as the pain was distracting. It helped a lot. I put on a fresh pain patch every 8-12 hours and in a week I am almost back to normal. I believe the pain patch helped with pain and promoted healing. The patch has menthol and camphor in it. Maybe it is because it increased blood flow to the area. It also helped the toe to feel a bit more supported, being confined by some tape.
I will certainly try pain patches earlier next go round (but not on broken skin.)
