I have a friend who tore up both knees (major soft-tissue damage) in an industrial accident several years ago. Had something like 7 surgeries on one knee, including a joint replacement. The surgeon left a screw sticking out such that it caused massive inflammation and wouldn't heal properly, necessitating some of the surgeries. Anyway, I told him about DMSO a month ago and he started sponging it on a couple times a day. He's now down to a splash every couple of days. He's diluting to about 35%. Since practically the first day he's been raving over how pain-free his knees are and is completely overjoyed with the benefits so far. He's able to go without his elastic braces most of the time now. So, that's one example for you, Patty. It's clearly helped eliminate some chronic inflammation and promote at least some additional healing. That's no guarantee that there won't be problems for him in the future, or that it'll work similarly for you. Obviously you'll want to be careful and coordinate with your medical advisors. I've suggested that he go a few more weeks and then stop using it for a week or two or until symptoms return. That's as a way to find out if the healing is actually permanent or if there's still some organic cause for inflammation that will necessitate ongoing use. Hope that helps!
