★★★★☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
Hi
I'm new to using DMSO, and have been using it on my hips, because there's only half the cartilage left in them, and consequently resultant pain. I also use it on my pelvic area and lower back, and |I think it is helping. However, I've found that whereas the pain in my lower back has lessened there's now pain in my upper back which wasn't there before.
Does DMSO just provide temporary relief or can it actually cure?
And is is safe to take it internally, perhaps a teaspoonful in a warm drink?

I think that will be my first response to everything so, if anybody wonders, "What would Cindy do?", just assume I'd massage a bunch of castor oil on it or around it or whatever's appropriate, then add a bunch MORE castor oil, wrap it up, tape it down and let it do its thang!
And there really is a big difference between castor oil and ORGANIC castor oil.
If you want to see why, the next time you need some chapstick, put some regular castor oil on your lips for a day and just keep doing that when you need some MORE, which you definitely WILL. Then, the NEXT day, put some ORGANIC castor oil on it. TOTALLY different. You won't need to reapply all day, instead of 10 times per day! Super simple test anybody can do.
I don't know what "pure" and "hexane free" castor oil is but it ain't castor oil. At least, none of those I've purchased are anything like the organic castor oil.

I know it sounds nuts but I would recommend castor oil packs on the hip. I jammed a toe back so far the toenail ceased to grow and it was just plain uncomfortable for a couple of years. Then I did some castor oil on it and it's perfectly normal. Not sure how THAT works, but it did for me. It was like the castor oil went in and just told all of the cells to get out of each others' business, ROFL! So it came out and everything got straightened out. Toenail is growing fine and the whole nine yards.

What are some good treatments for Hip Dysplasia in humans? Everything that comes up is for dogs. My daughter who is 31 has hip dysplasia and is getting no pain relief. She is told she needs to lose 15 pounds before they can do surgery. The problem is she suffers with PCOS and has difficulty losing weight even with eating healthy. They recently did a steroid injection, however that isn't helping much and besides it is causing mood (irritability) issues. Not sure how much more of this pain she can take and prescription pain meds aren't helping either.
