Do copper/magnetic bracelets work to relieve joint pain???

• Mr. 300

  

  Just curious who has had any success with these??? My joints are beginning to feel to toll from tendonitis, and bowling is becoming more painful as I get older.
  
  Should I try one of these, or keep popping Aleve??

  My stepfather tried these on a whim. He's got RA.
  
  They were a waste of his money.

  I don't have any actual personal experience one way or the other, but my gut reaction to these types of intervention is that they don't work. If there is actual medical evidence, obtained through legitimate research projects that suggest a positive result for those using these devices, then I might possibly change my opinion. For now, it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. (Prior to the tornado hurtling her and her dog to Oz.)

  I used to wear a Phiten titanium necklace every day. I started because I was having headaches every single day. I went to a chiropractor to get readjusted and when they were massaging my neck they said I had knots all along the base of my skull and that it was tension headaches. They suggested that I come in every other week, $40 a pop, to have them rubbed out. I probably couldnt afford to go once a month at the time so I bought a Phiten necklace. It took a good week or so for my body to adjust to it (as expected) but it worked. If I went a day without it, I had a headache. Maybe it was all in my head, I don't know, but I didn't have headaches.
  
  Then I got a bit more active and lost some weight.....didn't need the necklace anymore.

  We looked at those Phiten's last night while in Dicks. Looked interesting.

  Yes definitely and live leeches are great for the "consumption".

  I can't see any medical basis why these wouldn't work
