Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I had acute plantar fasciitis from stepping on something, and it got worse because I thought it was just bruised and kept walking on it. The doctor put me on crutches and told me not to walk on it after about 6 weeks. I then started compressing it at night with 90% DMSO gel covered by gauze pads, I placed plastic over that and put on a cotton sock to hold it all in place. You could use tape. It healed fairly rapidly after this although I still feel a twinge now and then, more at night, after a long day on my feet perhaps, but it is never bad enough to call it pain, just enough to notice that area still feels tight at times.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I was told alternating very hot water 10 minutes & icy cold water 3 minutes was a good cure - with magnesium in the hot water - I would also apply DMSO after that regime (you're meant to begin & end on the cold water) Jane http://www.eamega.com/HighFieldHealth ~The Highest Field of Energy Healing you now!~ Question on DMSO and pain relief > Hello All, > > > > Has anyone used DMSO for the treatment of plantar fasciitis?

Maybe even without limping.   I have never heard of DMSO until yesterday after reading your post. I have no idea where to purchase it or how to use it for my dog's leg tumor and for the pain that is causing her to limp.  Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Markee if you are in the US the other folks on the list would be better able to guide you as to the best place to buy DMSO in the US - yes Gunpowder does help with tumours but i would start with some Arnica 30C (Washington Homeopathics will stock this if you're in the US) I would also order Ferr Phos, Silica & Calc Sulph (all 6x potency) which all may be available at your HFS & get some Gunpowder 12x while you're ordering. So glad you made it here - keep in touch & let us know how you go. If you have comfrey growing cut a leaf up very fine and add it to your dog's meat every meal - even one leaf a day would help.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 A friend told me about this, it worked for her and it has worked for several people that I've told since then. get one of those wooden, ridged massage rollers. place this under your foot at the heel and while you are sitting, watching tv or reading or working on the computer, and simply roll your foot so that the roller goes from the heel to your toes. don't roll backwards, move the roller back to your heel and then roll it to the toes again, over and over, for however long you want do this for a few days and it should clear up the problem. a chiropractor told my friend this. he said the roller breaks up the tension and loosens the tendons. samala, -------Original Message------- My Mom is suffering from this and there never seems to be any rhyme or reason as to how or when the pain happens.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks Garnet, this sounds like it's very doable for my Mom to try. How did you make the DMSO gel? And was it 90% DMSO and say 10% aloe or something to make it gel-like? I saw her today and she had duct tape wrapped all around her foot...I felt badly because I haven't yet been able to come up with something to really help her to get some relief. She won't do the crutches I do know that...but something at night will be ok, and keeping her off her feet at times would work too. Please tell me how to make the gel and we'll give it a go!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 DMSO may help with the pain, but will it take the tumors down? My cat and 3 dogs of friends has years of extended life from shark cartridge. I don’t know a recommended amount, but I opened the capsules and put it into Shadow’s food. When I stopped, the tumors returned, but I carried on for 3-4 years with this remedy.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hi , Having had a couple bouts of PA, here are some things that helped me: Don't walk around barefoot and avoid cold floors. Arches and the tendons and fascia need support and also need to remain gently stretched, or they'll tighten up and further inflame their attachments. I didn't get a night splint, but put a small, firm pillow against the foot of my bed and at night, jammed my heel against the foot of the bed with the ball of my foot on the pillow, making the angle of the heel more acute. Stand with balls of feet on a raised wooden threshold or edge of stair, (facing stair) and gently lower heels for a few seconds at a time so they're lower than the ball. This will stretch the sole of the foot. Also, when getting out of bed, slide foot back and then bend opposite knee (like runners stretching their hamstrings before running) Do this slowly and gently for a few seconds before walking around. And last, When we were on the road, touring and walking a lot, I found that a simple $4 elastic arch band (Walmart) worn 24/7, kept the tendons gently curved into the arch of my foot and kept them more flexible while healing. I always carry one in my bag now, in case something acts up. I think moderate walking with stretching is better than letting the feet be completely idle, as absolute rest would probably encourage the tendons and fascia tighten up and become even more vulnerable. Hope some of this helps. Be well, Léna > Thanks Garnet, this sounds like it's very doable for my Mom to try. > How did you make the DMSO gel?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 The gel I got at my Feed 'n' Seed, was disappointingly pretty runny: about the consistency of heavy cream. Silver Puppy (google it) offers a gel kit that I've used to make my CS the consistency of Dippity-Do. It would be easy to make the gel with a little distilled water and maybe some aloe to soothe skin, and then add DMSO to it. (always add DMSO to other things, rather than the other way around.)

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 You can order it from www.jeffersequine.com and maybe www.kvvetsupply.com I did not find it particularly runny, maybe not as thick as Dippity-Do, for those of us who remember that product! It is thick enough to be more convenient to handle than the liquid but it is not easily diluted if you need a lower concentration. I suppose you could use an organic aloe vera gel.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi Lena, Glad to be of help. On the top of the jar, about a 6 to 8 oz jar, I show: Aloe Vera 100% - gel Grapefruit Seed Extract-24 drops. This is in some very expensive cream for wounds. Strong Colloidal Silver 1 teaspoon gel powder from the Silver Puppy (@ www:silverpuppy.com) Regular Colloidal Silver (with distilled water), by drops to make the consistency I wanted. I used it on a burn recently, a bad rope burn and the pain stopped immediately! I use a Q-tip to dispense it from the jar. The only thing I can think of to add would possibly be DMSO, or possibly use DMSO over the gel if the situation calls for it.
