I use two from a compounding pharmacy but there is good info on DMSO and other over the counter creams. I really find DMSO useful but only at 70% and anything higher causes me intense itching.
Here's some others that have been mildly useful. Aspercreme, Biofreeze (some times too strong and I mix with a carrier or something like Corganics Relief which is 2.5% Menthol and is my go to cream for mild burning.) Topricin Zum rub (only for mild pain) The compounded creams, especially with ketamine is outstanding but ketamine is criminally expensive so you likely will need insurance for it. My other compounded cream is not expensive and works well enough for most mild to moderate pains. Works as an anti-inflamitory also and is helpful for muscle cramping. I use NSADs only very occasionally. Here's the article. http://www.drwhitaker.com/choose-topical-pain-relief/ I hope this will help someone here. Last edited by icelander; 09-04-2015 at 02:12 PM. |

Did you see my new thread on Aspercreme Lidocaine?

I don't have much knowledge in that area but I've still had great success with creams. I like that most of it stays on the skin rather than in the body. Side effects are minimized which is to be appreciated when you see the lists on some of these internal meds.
