"... In winter, when skiing, I fell and severely injured the ligaments and muscles of the ankle. The joint was swollen, there were severe pains in the place of the bruise, and later - slightly increased the temperature. An ambulance was called out, a tight bandage was applied and Brustan was prescribed. After 5 days, the tumor disappeared, and the temperature returned to normal. "
