Key phrase here : "it wasn't the day to push it"

Meaning he's being CAUTIOUS which is a wise thing so close to Saturday.

No, it works, when you see a woman infected by arthritis and starts to use it.. and all the swelling has gone, when I get plantir facitus and I use it and it's gone withen days.. same with tendinitus.. when my 86 year old mom tells me it's the only thing that's working, that says something. I understand, it's not big pharm approved, and there's a reason, simply, they cannot make any money on it. Say what you want, I"ve been using it for 20 years without a problem and it's worked better than anything a doctor has ever given me. You are right, it is a delivery system.. ground up some ibuprofen and apply where it's needed and bingo, it's applied directly where it's needed. Let me ask you, have you used it?
I’ve used it.
Late 70s through early 90s I was a PRCA bull rider.
DMSO was passed around as often as a whiskey bottle. Mixed reviews/results at best.
The only thing I ever got from it was stinky breath (garlic) and a headache.
Absorbine Jr, or the veterinary strength Absorbine worked much better for sore or strained muscles.

I’m aware that some people swear by it, but now that I have 30 years of medical career behind me, it’s nothing more than Snake Oil.
If it works for you great, just be aware of the risks/dangers involved.

Hell, even during Covid some people had success and high praise for Ivermectin right.

I don’t have issues with you promoting DMSO, but I’m certainty compelled to explain the flip side.

DMSO is horse linament
Even this isn’t 100% accurate.

DMSO is a chemical that is a byproduct of paper mills/products.
It’s a solvent.
This solvent goes through our skin (and animals) very quickly and easily.

It does have some uses (a following) in veterinary care but there is very little evidence, study based information that says it’s effective.
It is used on Equestrian Athletes often but more because the people using it believe in it than science proving it works.

Calling DMSO “horse lineament” isn’t accurate even though some use it as such.

DMSO is a chemical solvent that has very limited (proven and approved) use in Human or Veterinary medicine.

We have gone off topic way too much.

Google is your friend here.
Unless you are talking about Pharmaceutical grade (for humans) being used as labeled the DMSO of today is NO DIFFERENT than it was.

If you don’t understand that there are risks involved with putting a foreign substance into your body that isn’t proven safe, or have an approved use for the intended purpose, I’m not sure anything I have to say will help you.

Please, let’s get back to the subject of the OP.
FURTHER discussion of this should be a discussion of its own.
I’m as guilty as anyone, but this conversation should be in the lounge.

Feel free to start a thread about your experience with DMSO

But you could put some Diclofenac Sodium topical gel on it. I have it for my hip. it is an NSAID gel. And it did work somewhat for my hip pain. I am not on the practice squad anymore so I am able to take the hard stuff again......but I prefer to take this. Wow what a ride. I have to work tomorrow too. Dammit.

Only on Friday. LMAO
Dawg, there's a rotation of these lovely people that take turns falling asleep on one leg right at the major intersection where Rainier Ave turns into 167 southbound..right on the lil 11 inch divider at the light. I swear I don't know how there hasn't been a major accident.

ETA: This is RIGHT NOW

I have like 3 tubes in my hall closet for my sciatica. I just remembered when I saw the name. I got a good Dr that keeps me on my feet, tho, so I never use it.

my doc gave it to me just for the pain I was dealing with. I did myself bad over the summer and did not understand that I did. When I work, I WORK and forget to take care of myself. I learned that summer that I will need to change. So I have. I am too old for this shit. So let someone else do it or go 3000 times slower. I go 3000 times slower.
