Review title is Maybe sorta kinda works? [SEP] Purchased this cream on the recommendation by my PT to get some DMSO instead of the other topicals I was trying.  This doesn't work great.  Truthfully, it doesn't eliminate by pain (severe tendonitis in my shoulder/rib cage) but on lighter (pain) days it does help reduce it.  On heavy pain days, I still apply it and hope for a placebo effect.  It is thick - super thick; not an issue for me as I'm at home mainly when it's applied but would be slightly annoying if I had to place it somewhere (on my body) that may have transference onto clothes I wouldn't want to get stained.
