Loosing up the aching joints.

Question:

I worked in a hardware store years ago and was puzzled as to why so many old people were buying WD-40. I finally got  to ask one. They told me it was good to relive aching joints. At that time I was doubtful but now i use it all the time. It won’t stain and it doesn’t smell like other pain rubs.Try it. You will be glad you did. Duke

You could also use it to give yourself an enema. Try it, you’ll be glad you did.

That was really uncalled for. The guy was trying to offer some helpful information and you go and make a comment like that. — Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). 9/19/2002

You’ve got to be kidding. You think telling people to plaster themselves with WD40 is helpful, much less a safe thing to do?

Response:

Sounds like something some young snit would say.  Try searching on WD 40 +pain – lube — you might be surprised at how popular this notion is — right or wrong.  Older folks get damn tired of living with  pain everyday. If they think WD 40 works — why not let them alone?  After all, it could be that someday the dude in the bed next to you at the home might be recommending it to you — after seeing you suffer. — Gary Note:  Return email address is modified as an anti spam tool.

I think it was mp who was trying to be helpful, actually.  The guy was full of s**t, after all.

You don’t remember DMSO as a reliever of arthritic pain? Some years ago now, and maybe harder to find, but DMSO penetrates skin, and does at least a little to relieve aches, but there’s some controversy over whether or not it’s more harmful than helpful. It has 2 main uses: horse liniment; industrial solvent. I wonder if WD40 is at least partly DMSO?

Not to get my foot in the game, I would have reservations about the volatile components — petroleum distillates — of WD40 on my skin.  I mean in significant quantities, regular use, that sort of thing. I have a prescription for Lodine, one a day if needed. Will

Nope, you would smell it right away. The thing about DMSO is that it hydrogen bonds with water better than water does with itself (to a point), so you get heat when you mix DMSO and water. The heat relieves the pain to a certain extent. There are some side effects of chronic exposure to DMSO but that’s the case with almost everything. BTW, you will also smell DMSO if you hang around world class sprinters.

Well, I don’t know about the long term effects of it, but I have been using it for 30+ years for the very same thing. — Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). 9/19/2002

So far I deal.      But, with my knee joints, I can forecast rain. They always hurt more after the rain starts.   JOAT Well dowsing.  By appointment only.

And the operative word is "more" because I’ll bet the damned things are like mine, painful ALL the time, even with Vioxx. That helps, but it doesn’t cure or even knock the pain down. Hell, even triple doses of Vicodin only knocked it down for an hour or 2, and that is simply not a practical way to go through life. ‘76. That’s the year I had my first knee surgery. Up to 3 now, and that ‘76 knee will be replaced next year some time, I’m told. I hope to hell the other one holds off until I retire. This kind of crap eats sick time and vacation time. Cataract surgery on the right eye next Thursday. I am really ready for that one, after all the glowing reports I’ve had of the results. Charlie Self Goals are good.

I am really ready for that one, after all the glowing reports I’ve had of the results.      Oh, yes.  24/7.  I try to stay away from prescription drugs, saving those for when I "really" need them, and just in case I develop a tolerance for them.  Besides, none I have taken so far help.  Took some for the headache for awhile, all they did was make my brain feel like it was packed in cotton.  Went through about six types, same results. Found out later the damn doctor was prescribing anti-depressents, and hadn’t told me.  Quit him right then.  So far the meditation helps.  Got glaucoma, but drops are handling that nicly.   JOAT Well dowsing.  By appointment only.

62, sounds pretty old to me.   :-)  I think most Russian men are dead by 62. I’ll be 58 on Dec 2.  What day is your birthday?  I can’t decide what to send you, maybe that Grizzly 16 inch Ultimate Jointer.  As long as they have reduced shipping, I ought to take advantage of it. I was wondering, who is the oldest active participant in the wreck, also who is the youngest.  I wonder too what the average age is.  I seem to recall that Sir Edgar is 78, which might make him the oldest.
