I thought this was all serious stuff till I read:

Relieve arthritis symptoms
For occasional joint pain or arthritis symptoms in the knees or other
areas of the body, advocates swear by spraying WD-40 on the affected
area and massaging it in, saying it provides temporary relief and makes
movement easier. For severe, persistent pain, consult a health care
professional.
