Thanks. Glad I'm blessed to not have those issues. DMSO helps me with age spots, though. Guess it helps with more than I thought. Good to know.

Try peptide BPC157 for healing your shoulder and other aches miraculously.

Have you looked into doing Borax and Baking Soda for your meniscus and ligament tears?

I tried that for a month and it was doing wonders for me as it seems to have healed my wrist to a degree (it isn't fully healed but I am able to move it better than before and have less pain whenever I move my wrist, and still function that way 3 years later).

A man posted his story on EarthClinic about his blown knees and how he got it restored back to full health with Borax and Baking Soda:

As an ex runner I was told my knees were shot and needed replacing. At the time I was working in Russia and a local pharmacist advised to try this before knee surgery. Mix one box of baking soda with an equal amount of Borax. Blend and use 1 teaspoon in a quart of green tea and drink the whole thing every day. I was on a 3 month rotation, 1 off 3 on. At the end of 3 months my knees felt fine. I went home and had both x-rayed. Bone had returned to normal, cartilage was no longer stretched like an old rubber band and most importantly my Synovial fluid had gone from gone / gone to normal. In Russia Borax is widely used. Wake up USA, Big Pharma!

After hearing that story, that's what made me try Borax and Baking Soda and I only did a month in. My knees were starting to get weak but after a week or two, the sores and weakness went away. Unfortunately I had to stop because it was time consuming and I had a heavy schedule back then. I will try to go back to that regimen very soon.
