DMSO for TKR throbbing knee

Posted , 2 users are following.

Someone has recommended the use of DMSO a natural bi product of wood to help ease the throbbing I have just above my knee. It's like a pulsing nerve and makes the knee very uncomfortable. 

I would be very interested to learn whether anyone has tried DMSO after TKR and has it helped at all.

I am seriously considering giving it a try as the constant throbbing is just driving me crazy and very debilitating

    We used to put DMSO on our horses achy legs. To do it, we had to use rubber gloves and toss them away or we would get a horrible garlic taste in our mouth. I have heard pros and cons for using this stuff. My doctor recommended Salonpas. They make it in patches, dreams and sprays. I'd try that first and research DMSO.
