For once, knowledge is making me poor!
This might be a long read but if it helps you like it helped me, it will be worth it.
My back and hip problems have been getting progressively worse and despite spinal injections every six months I was going downhill pretty quick. I had reached a point where the pinched nerves were causing me to stumble and hobble like a crippled old man. After sitting for a short time, my first 3-5 steps were excruciating! I felt and looked like an idiot when I would get up. I was also struggling to sleep because I could not find a position which wasn't painful, constantly changing positions throughout the night. I was on a mission to find something to reduce the inflammation and the resulting pinched nerves! I was about to pull the trigger on some gummies with a high concentration of CBG and zero THC.
I was listening to the Sirius NFL channel Friday with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan and the subject of DMSO came up, I had never heard of it. Jim said when he played QB for the Bears, he would use it to play with injury, Pat said so many players used it the team bus would smell like an Italian restaurant (it can have a garlicky odor).
I started doing research and found a lot of positive testimonials along with some precautions. As with anything else that the FDA and AMA have yet to extract their billions off the top, they poo-poo it by listing many precautions. Knowing how the FDA and AMA work, I basically discounted the plethora of precautions and focused on finding the purist pharma grade DMSO I could. I bought liquid because I could have it delivered that day by Amazon and I ordered gel from Walmart because they had the best price.
I played in a golf tournament Monday and was in terrible pain when I finished. I am usually laid up for a couple days after golf, I got home Monday evening and opened the package and began even more research. I found that DMSO is a solvent and it penetrates deeply and quickly into muscle tissue and joints, it also carries anything else you mix it with so I researched using it with Diclofenac which is a topical NSAID I use by the gallon, it was highly recommended. I tried a small spot on my leg because one of the cautions is skin irritation. I waited 30 minutes and when I had no reaction I applied the mixture to my back, sciatic area, and hip. I slept better than I had in a couple years! I got up at 2:30 and went downstairs to pee, I would typically have a lot of pain going back up stairs when using my left leg to lift me up every other step .....I had zero pain.
I got up feeling miraculously good! I got my coffee, went to my office, and spent 30 minutes on my laptop, when I stood up I still had no pain and I could walk like a normal person! I decided to wait until the pain came back before applying it again so I could rule out any coincidence. I remained relatively pain free most of the day and when I started to feel the pressure of the pinched nerves, I let it build for a while until the pain became a minor nuisance. I applied the mixture again and within a very short time, the pressure and pain subsided and I got another great night's sleep!
In summary, the jury is still out because I've only had two days of use. But THE RESULTS THUS FAR HAVE BEEN MIRACULOUS!
