MSM supplement suggested by Jeriatric, early results:

[wyliec]

It's been less than a week, and I've already noticed a difference when working out and after I've completed my time in the gym. I used to have to take at least one Aleve after working out due to arthritis in one hip; I'm Aleve free right now.

My hats off to you Mr. Jeriatric.

This MSM thing started in the Spyder General Discussion forum for hand/wrist pain when Spyder riding.

After reading the thread about MSM, I too bought some. I had my latest foot surgery 4 months ago. I have had foot, ankle, and leg soreness and swelling since then. Even went in to make sure I was not having a DVT. I did see some relief from taking 800mg ibu a couple times a day. Started MSM about 10 days ago and am off the ibus. The soreness and swelling are all but gone. Thanks for the info..... Jim

+1, I have been taking TriFlex for years to relieve pains.

GREAT news!

All credit goes to Denise Dadore, were it not for her reporting, I'd have never known.

I just take Captain Morgan...

It doesn't make the pain go away at all: I just don't care as much! :roflblack:

Agree 100%. I'm the OP of the hand/wrist pain thread. I've now been on the MSM for about 3 weeks (2000 mg at breakfast and 2000mg again at dinner). While it's not a complete solution for me, I can say that the pain in my fingers and wrists is substantially reduced.

Now, if only I could find something that worked as well for my hip and low back!

There was a news story the other day stating that the FDA is recommending that MSM could be dangerous and should not be used. I'm sorry, but I have no other information to offer.

I may be way off, but how does sodium chlorite have anything to do with Methylsulfonylmethane ? Not a chemist.

Did stillriding base what he said solely on 3 letters, MMS vs MSM? I don't see what one has to do with the other.

I'm taking MSM, if I should die, I'll let you know stillriding was correct.

Did you ever wonder how rumors start?

Maybe it wasn't MMS, but M&M's that the FDA was reporting.:dontknow:

 

[pegasus1300]

I think that is MMS not MSM, very different compounds.

Not the same or related compound at all. The FDA warning about MMS has no relevance to MSM.
