I Had a Bad Reaction Using DMSO on my Tennis Elbow

Posted By Mario (Dallas Tx) on 07/08/2015

I tried dmso for my tennis elbow for two days { the gel kind} but it gave me a bad reaction. The itching was umberable, and my arm swollen, so I stopped. Any suggestions please?

Dear Mario,

What strength of DMSO did you use? I think on the skin you are not supposed to use more than 70%.

Some things I use topically for a skin reaction are:

  • Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 Apple Cider Vinegar (raw) with 1/2 water
  • Castor oil

If these do not help, a teaspoon of turmeric a couple of times a day internally may be helpful.

The Castor Oil, Vinegar and the turmeric may also be helpful for your pain.
