Has anyone used DMSO for joint pain?

If you can stand the smell it may help.

I tried DMSO on my toenail fungus. I mixed a fungicide with the DMSO hoping that the DMSO would draw the fungicide through the toenail to kill the fungus. I only used it once because the smell was overpowering and sickening to me. I’ld rather live with the fungus.

Good health!

I have never had a need to use it. Try it. It’s not terribly expensive, but follow the directions.

I suggest before you buy any particular product do some research on the quality of the brand, and that product.

After reading what WebMD has to say about it, I would not recommend it. They say that it is generally no more effective for joint pain than a placebo, and has a lot of potentially dangerous side effects.

And here is more info that suggests dimethyl sulfoxide is not approved for any other uses except a bladder condition called intertitial cystitis.

This info is from The Mayo Clinic:https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/dimethyl-sulfoxide-intravesical-route/description/drg-20063424

You might consider altering your diet to include foods that have anti-inflammatory properties.

The arthritis foundation also recommends certain types of physical exercise for helping to ease joint pain.

I hope you get some relief soon.
