City crews continue search for source of 'catastrophic' water main break

Source of break could take days to identify, mayor says

The next day she woke up sore and stiff again so I applied the DMSO again. It worked to dramatically reduce the pain again.
That evening the pain slowly reappeared and she didn’t want to reapply the DMSO as it is kind of smelly and it irritates the skin somewhat, so I gave her 1ml of liquid CBD oil (Frank CBD 100mg/g). Her pain was pretty much ...
