  It worked for me a few years back when I had some hand pain going on. It is not a cure but will get you through your gigs and sessions. A few friends tried it and they felt relief as well. Thanks for the comment!

  I have already seen this and know about the potential harm. But if you are a working musician and have to perform and make money to pay the rent or feed the family this will get you through it. You should definitely not use it for long term. Active Release Techniques are the proper treatment imo. I have used WD-40 in the past to get me through a few tough spots in a pinch and just want to pass along the tip. Thanks again for the comment!!!

  absotulty no scientific reason for this to work. It is a placebo, if someone told you bacon fat would help, it would be just as effective as this chemical poison. All in your heads fellas, it’s all in your heads.

  Billy,

  Certain properties of the oil create this benefit, however other properties of the petrochemical ingredients in WD-40 aren’t so good.

  Fortunately a variety of herbal bases essential oil botanicals are good for this sort of stuff.

  Health and nutrition retailers commonly stock these oils.

  Ginger oil – Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory
  Peppermint oil – Peppermint is a topical analgesic
  Tea Tree oil – promoted for a variety of conditions
  Capsican oil – Hot pepper oils (watch what you touch!!!)

  Emu oil is an animal based oil that’s becoming more known

  The point is that WD-40 isn’t really unique, but that it’s all about the properties of oils, of which many natural sources can provide a healthier form. As WD-40 is a very popular and widely used product, it was inevitable that this “side effect” of it would be discovered. Essential herbal oils aren’t as mainstream as WD, yet they are very available!

  Also, good call on the arnica gel!

  I am not a doctor, but reluctantly tried WD-40 for knee pain. And it worked for me…
  What I found is that there is an active ingredient in WD-40 that is used for animals for joint pain, horses to be specific, called DMSO. It is not approved for humans but it is available. Check this website for more info: http://www.dmso.org/

  By the way, if it was a placebo, it would not fool a horse. There is something to this, but the present carrier of WD-40 contains some things that are not so good for you. Try to get the horse stuff!!!

  I 100% agree with you CheckingThings. I have tried the DMSO in the past for a different issue and it did work. The WD-40 trick is just for people that are in the middle of a weekend full of gigs or in a string of sessions that need some relief so they can get the job done…..then see a doctor. By no means a cure. Thank you very much for the comment…!!! -Billy
