i am currently reading hartmut fischer's book 'the dmso handbook' and would like to try now that my cast is off my wrist and arm. to do an initial test he recommends a 70per cent mix and if any prolonged allergic reaction, liver pains or unpleasant symptoms not to use dmso. these reactions seem extreme but would not using lesser per centage solutions be o.k. excuse my ignorance on this.
i realise the stiffness i have at the moment needs to be exercised to improve movement but hoped maybe dmso would lessen swelling and help the muscles stretch with maybe less pain. at the hospital 3 days ago they just took off the cast and gave me a booklet of exercises to do and to go back in 4 weeks. at 72 i've no idea if the 6 breaks have even started to fuse so i don't want to go full bore against the pain.
when the cast was taken off i expected some pain on the release but the pain was so severe it was just the same as the night i broke it. i was unable to speak for for the 1st 10 minutes. needless to say i'm in a pity me mode at the moment but don't want to do anything silly. i would really be grateful if anyone used to using this substance would give me some advice.
on another note it says the expiry date on my dmso is may 2026. does dmso really have an expiry date.
