Magnetic copper bracelets (Do they work )

mickog

Hi all.I hope this is in the right department. I suffer from chronic arthritis and would like to hear from any of you that may use or have used a bracelet. I am not too sure if i need to get as powerful as possible bracelet or just a standard strength. I also suffer from heart problems and would like to know if i need to contact my GP before getting one. Many thanks for any help or advice you could give.

If you want them to work - they will

Sadly all evidence is anecdotal and they simply have a placebo effect.

i tried a copper bracelet but didnt find any effect. i then tried a hematite one with magnets and do find it helps - whether its placebo or not i dont know

they are actually much cheaper than the copper ones (around £6-10) so might be worth a try first

didn't do anything for me, but each to their own. Could be mind over matter

Seems to work for me - could be a placebo effect but tbh I don't care. If it works for me and I feel better then that's good enough.

I cannot take NSAID's unfortunately so have to rely on other forms of pain relief and copper seems to do the trick. Fish oils also help.

I also use copper inserts in my shoes sometimes - need some more. They too seem to work well.
