I usually don't post here, but I do visit. I developed tendonitis all over my body from taking Ciprofloxin which doctors prescribed for a bacterial infection that put me in the hospital and would have killed me if left untreated. Cipro has terrible side effects which I didn't know about but like me you can research it online. The tendonitis can get so bad that the literature says even your Achilles tendon can pop after you stop taking the antibiotic. I took it last May and 9 months later I still have the tendonitis. Unfortunately most doctors don't believe their patients because they aren't informed by the drug companies. Anything to make a buck.
A friend who has MS and has suffered from physical pain all his life recommended DMSO which I researched online and ended up finding DMSO2 cream which doesn't leave you smelling like garlic. It is called Penetrex. This is not a cure, nor is it medicine but it takes almost all of the pain away. It builds up with time so you can move around and feel almost normal. You can put it on as many times as you feel you need it and has no negative effects. I went from barely being able to hobble around and a loss of coordination in my body to nerve numbness in my feet and constant crippling pain to being able to move almost normally with almost no pain.
You can find it on Amazon.com. There are more than 700 reviews for it which will convince you to get it. I have recommended this to everyone I know who has any pain, cronic or otherwise and they are all now recommending it to their friends. It truly works. The number of symptoms it helps is really surprising. Read the reviews for the 4 oz which all apply to the 2 oz amount. You can read the reviews here:

I hope this helps. It can't hurt you to try.
