<Bz30>Swearing by WD40
She tore a ligament in her knee about 20 years ago and ever since has had bouts of pain there. It is not a condition she runs to the doctor with and she’s not a chronic complainer. Dee Ann Iris said over the years she had tried different liniments on her sore joint and had settled on a particular over-the-counter arthritis rub. This she had been using every time she felt pain and while it did not erase the pain, it did relieve it a bit.
Then on the Labour Day March she walked alongside a 70-year-old man who swore by WD40. That’s right. The same stuff you use on your bike or on any metal joint you need to loosen up.
“He said he oils his body down every day and that it worked,” Dee Ann said. “And he said he was 70 but he looked so young. I thought I’d try it if I remembered.”
About a week later her knee flared up and she applied WD40. “I thought it would be oily and stinking but it wasn’t,” she said. “I came to work with it on and nobody said anything about me smelling. It worked in minutes. My knee just stopped aching. Normally my knee clicks into place but that didn’t happen at all.”
