Love dmso. Been using it for a while. Recently hyperextended my right hamstring. Bruised from my butt to my ankle. Used a combo of castor oil/frankincense oil on the bruise, followed with dmso gel about 10 minutes later. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow and the bruise is all but gone. When the muscles in my thigh get tight I massage straight dmso into the muscles. Works great.
I’ve never heard of it before but your post has me thinking it might be the swiss army knife of strains, bruises, sprains and hyperextension, in addition to many others.
