Default Tendon Injury

hey... sorry i have not been too active lately, i am finding it hard to type, let alone anything else because i pulled a tendon in my wrist and have tendonitis..... which sucks!

i was given this cream to put on the injured area that is actually used for horses not humans.... apparently a lot of body builders use it.... and i was wondering if anyone here has hear of it... first i was told to put on "trainer's choice liniment gel" then the horse stuff "DMSO".... i have to use it sparsly in moderation because my skin is really sensitive, but i have found it helps. have you heard of this stuff? apparently the DMSO is suppose to make what ever you apply right before sink into the skin..... i was told that instead of the gel i could also crush up an anti-inflamitory and put that on my skin with the DMSO to really bring down the swelling (so far the pain has been reduced, but not the swelling)... i am a little sckeptical of how DMSO works, so i was hoping some of you might know more about it.

thanks
