Pharmaceutical drugs like Methyl Salicylate are considered to be quite useful in treating musculoskeletal pain as the irritation of the sensory nerve endings is thought to alter or offset pain in the underlying muscle or joints that are served by the same nerves. This is supposed to cover up the underlying musculoskeletal pain and discomfort.
