This is why we have trust issues!

Doctors: we know everything, and you can trust us completely.

Patients: cool! I have a pain. I heard DMSO works for that.

Pain specialists: It's actually an organic solvent and may be dangersus. You should probably avoid it. Actually the reported pain reduction benefit is only anecdotal and we don't really know how it works . Nobody has studied it.

Health experts: Some people benefit from it but look at all these SUPER scary risks that come with it!

Nobody from nowhere who wrote a book: Here's how it works actually

Old kooks on the internet: P.S. it is a miraculous cure for all kinds of things including pain, and here's links to scores of studies showing exactly how safe it is and how well it works

tl;dr: despite considering herself almost totally infallible, your doctor is likely a midwit and literally internet research is better for you than asking most doctors' opinion
