WD40 is reported by thousands to help relieve knee joint pain – typed WD40 & Knee Joints into Search?
Typed “WD40 and Knee Joints” into my Yahoo search engine and saw several stories there where many had aquired a great deal of relief by spraying WD40 on sore and stiff knees one to four times over a weelk to two weeks with great results
Per the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): Prolonged or repeated contact may produce mild iritation and defatting with possible dermatitis.
Per WD40′s web site: Does not contain any know Caner Causing Agents.
Per About.Com: There has never been any scientific research to prove this theory. Possible reasons for the confusion: Massage Action, Coolness of the Spray or a Placebo Effect.
MY OPINION: If you have not suffered any exposure issues (dermatitis or dry skin) then that is not an issue as it is dependant on the user and frequency of use. Their is no known Cancer Causing Ingrediants (yet their is in everything else from the food we eat to the gasses released by material used in our car interiors). Thus I don’t not see any immediate health risks if used in moderation.
My father stumpled across this remedy backwards for his arthritis. He noticed that after using to clean something the swelling and disfigurment of his hands subsided and so did the pain. He isolated the cause of the relief to WD40. He than did studies on his own: application via towels, direct spray, indirect spray, and even rubbing with and without the WD40. His Hypothosis was it worked. Whether it truly worked is irrelevant as he found more relief from the WD40 than nearly any other medicine or technique. The only medicine that provided better relief had a side effect that would damage his liver (that was proven in scientific studies).
Remember as you provide your own review question the sources motives. EVERY source opposing the use of WD40 the I found has financial ties, directly and indirectly, to the companies providing treatments and medications for Arthritis.
Having a family history of Arthritis and understanding its crippling pain first hand I respect any treatment that can provide my loved ones some relief thus allowing them to enjoy life.
