DMSO is derived from wood and is a by-product of paper making. It is a powerful free radical scavenger and an effective anti-inflammatory agent. It also has pain-relieving, collagen-softening, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, making it an incredibly effective natural pain reliever. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is a colorless and transparent fluid that must be diluted before use.

Regarding CBD, I go to the "Pharm Stand" in Brownwood. I call it the CBD pharmacy. You can ask them questions, and it's a reputable company that I trust.

Good luck!
DMSO works best of all that my husband and I have tried. But do read up on it first. A couple important things to know if you do go this route 1) apply it with your hand or organic cotton balls. DMSO picks up whatever is on your skin. Make sure your skin is clean and chemical free before applying. If 30 minutes go by and you still feel pain apply again. I've never had to do it beyond the 30 minutes but have done it later in the day or the next day. Eventually the pain will subside completely, or it has for us. 2) Get it in a glass container not plastic. It's available on Amazon. 3) One downside to this is you can smell like garlic after applying it. I think the odor is better or worse depending on where it is applied.
