A popular myth has grown around the use of WD-40 as a joint lubricant and pain reliever for arthritis. The liquid is sprayed on the painful joint much as one would fix a squeaky mechanical hinge.
Over the counter medications are generally safe but they all have side effects and can interact with other medications that you are already taking. NSAIDS, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are one of the most effective treatments for arthritis. They help to relieve pain and swelling. However, they can cause stomach upset and sometimes can lead to ulcers. It is important to always take this class of medication with food.
