Bro, I had lower back surgery in '84. After my surgery (like a week), like a fucking moron, I worked out. With my surgery they made an incission approximately 7 inches long and actually scraped tendons off of vertebra. They reattached it with sutures (or whatever you call it) but while working out a week later, I re-tore it off of the vertebra. I was fucked. My left leg dragged when I walked and I was in more pain than I've ever had in my entire life. I went beck to my doc but he refused to go back in. I was in some real deep shit. To make a long story short, I learned about DMSO. I used it constantly for months. Bro, with no exageration whatsoever, that stuff healed me. I recently had a MRI in that area and the doc said there was absutely no evidence that I had ever had surgery there. He said "wow, you must have had one heck of a surgeon because I can't see any evidence of any scar tissue at all." He also said that's very unusual. I'm convinced that was due to the DMSO. I realize bro's use it for getting things into the body but there are more important uses for it. Bro, research the stuff, believe me, it will be worth your while. All the best and don't ever give up, the human is amazing at being able to heal itself if given the chance.
