Is it ok to use DMSO on an artificial joint?  I overdid walking and all since 
the knee wasn't hurting at all, but the next day it must have had internal 
swelling and I couldn't stand on it at all without knife stabbing pains unless 
I kept it stiff.  That was a week ago and the knee is still not back to where 
it was, even with much icing and elevation.  Now 11 weeks past surgery.  I was 
going to get it checked out, but of course, this is the week the surgeon is on 
vacation.
