MSM as a pain treatment

MSM is used to treat pain. In the UK over 9 million suffer from some form of arthritis, a condition that may be treatable with MSM. Other pain sufferers have enjoyed the benefits of MSM. Among the people who use MSM on a regular basis are arthritis sufferers, weight lifters, and professional athletes. MSM is such a strong pain reliever that it was originally used to treat racehorses to help relieve muscle pain following a race. Doctors and athletic trainers too notice when athletes began visiting equine supply stores to purchase MSM for personal use. Research on MSM in humans shows that it is safe and well tolerated. People who are concerned about the potentially dangerous side effects of NSAID's (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, Tylenol, and others) often choose to take MSM instead. The naturally occurring form of sulfur has shown promise in treating arthritis pain in the knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, and other joints in the body.
