Quaaludes?
I've been researching details on Quaaludes, for a story occuring in 1972 or '73. I've read the effects of the drug, and feel certain that I've got a firm enough grasp on the details that I need to know, but one thing that confuses me is it's attribute as a 'muscle relaxant.' This is kind of important, as the man the drug is forced upon (tall and skinny, living hand-to-mouth) has just injured himself, specifically twisting or spraining his ankle. His friends give it to him, as they really don't have the resources to take him to a doctor to properly treat his injury.
Would taking the Quaalude help to ease the pain? I don't know if spraining or twisting the ankle is an injury to muscle or bone, or if Quaalude can help any kind of pain.
Please and thank you.

ETA Thank you for everyone's help!
