I second Keld's suggestion as this is likely to be very dangerous
(treating onself with DMSO). Although not and entirely scientific
article, I remember reading in "Runner's World", when DMSO was all the
rage in the early 80's, about a few folk that self administered DMSO to
treat shin-splints. The article went on to say that these few foolish
folk endedup being paralyzed, likely because of the impurities the DMSO
carried into their bodies upon treatment.
Sounds like a bad idea...
