I found what may be the "western" equivalent of the Chinese medicine.
Penetrex
(Sounds like a personal lube, huh?)
http://www.amazon.com/Penetrex®-Tran.../dp/B0026HDURA
I bought some to try and speed up the healing of the surgical (knee) meniscus repair - this one claims to break up scar tissue, which is what I need.
One of its main ingredients is Arnica, which is what the Chinese stuff smells like to me.

Weird circumstances. I read this thread. Ordered some dit da jow on Amazon for my very minor and typical leg soreness after sports or runs. Then Saturday I watched my buddy drop (SNIPER!) in the middle of a game of angleball. Found out this morning that he tore his ACL and will be getting a TKR (already had one knee done 8 years ago). Maybe I'll just give him the first bottle and order another for myself.

What amazes me is that a formula that once was only available to black belts of a good, Chinese Gung Fu school can simply order a batch on amazon. Free super saver, yadiya, et al.
WTF Mt.net knows about dit dat jow. Can I keep any old man ninja wizard secrets? Would you like to do my sister too?

Bummer. Good luck with the surgery.
How's the knee stability? Get at least one session of PT in, to learn exercises to:
- re-learn improve stability / proprioception
- strengthen the muscles to protect it

By the way, the stuff I ordered on Amazon is called "Wong To Yick - Wood Lock Medicated Oil - External Analgesic"
