No it is not safe to use WD40 for any health related problem. Check with your doctor or naturopath to find a product that will help you. Bursitis is not an arthritic problem and can be helped by proper stretching and strengthening exercises. Ask your doctor for a referral to a physiotherapist or massage therapist. As for the arthritis, stick to doctor recommended products. Good luck.

I have heard of it but don't know if it is safe or actually works. The best way to treat it is to use 100% pure peanut oil. Rub it into the affected areas twice a day. I have tried it and it works wonders! If you can ingest it, it is certainly safe to rub it in.

I have heard of people using it but since it is a petroleum based product I would think it would not be healthy to put it on your skin for extended periods and for frequent use, unless you're the Tin Man.

Someone is pulling your leg. The oil can't get into the joint to help it anyway.
See your doctor.

NO!!! Don't do that. It's risky and probably toxic, why don't you just buy some arthritis medicine?
