The difference between me and your friend is that I know the source of my pain. I have cancer mets to several of my vertebrae. (Thank God I never got the clot shot or I would probably be dead by now!) I wonder if the dmso will offer pain relief for a known skeletal issue. I am so leary of pharma pain meds (and their side effects) that I am seeking alternative methods of pain management. My pain is part of a disease process that is to be expected. Keep me posted on your friends dosage and results.
I had shingles not too long ago DMSO was mildly helpful for that but took forever to go away.
I’ll do that. If you absolutely know the affected area, maybe a topical application of 50-70% DMSO would provide some relief? That’s what my friend will try next if the oral treatment doesn’t help.
