Review (1/5): NO Stars
At the recommendation of a friend who claimed to have had remarkable pain relief and ultimate healing of tendinitis in his hand from using DMSO liquid, I purchased 2 jars of the DMSO creme; one for me and one for a co-worker. Going in, I understood that the manufacturer sells the product solely as a solvent (wink-wink). In fact, it iS a solvent, but because the FDA does not approve DMSO for medicinal/therapeutic applications the manufacturer cannot make such claims. I bought it, hoping it would relieve the pain and inflammation associated with a "knotted" muscle in my lower left trapezius. Unfortunately, it did NOTHING. In addition, the chemically-sourced "rose" fragrance is irritating, if not sickening. I suggested to the seller that the use of REAL essential oil of rose would be far superior, but the only response was , "sorry you didn't like the product". It's not that I didn't LIKE it; It did not work and it smells like cheap old lady perfume.
BTW, my co-worker gave it to his wife for a sore hip joint. No effect so far. And she is also sickened by the fake rose scent. Maybe it will provide pain relief for your joints, muscles or tendons. But remember, if it doesn't work, you can't get your money back. But, hey, you can always use it as a solvent! (Wink-Wink)
