Not effective, definitely not worth it
I was cautiously optimistic about using DMSO to help with soreness and injuries from running and the occasional injuries from weights.  Some of the reviews I've read from multiple sources cite this product as a virtual miracle for these types of uses claiming to significantly reduce pain/inflammation in a short amount of time.  My experience has been the exact opposite - it didn't provide any relief at all for my hamstrings/knees or trapezium - in fact the soreness continued to worsen the way it would have if I'd done nothing at all.<br /><br />The smell is a whole other issue - I'd been prepared so was expecting something pretty bad.  If the product had relieved the symptoms as intended I would say it was a fair trade, maybe. But after the initial uses, I did a short 20 minute workout and 5 minutes later stopped in my tracks thinking, &#34;holy crap, what is that smell?&#34;  It wasn't sweat, it smelled like garlic mixed with a little petroleum.  It was coming out of my pores and the infamous taste was there too.  I have serious doubts that this could be healthy/ok to have absorbed into your body.<br />The bottom line is that it didn't work for me and my body was much better served by using a muscle rub.
