Magnetic Therapy Bracelets

MRSTITTLEMOUSE

I'm wondering if anyone has tried those magnetic therapy pain relief bracelets.Do they work or are they all hype.
I have a problem with my lower arm,I suffered a stress injury(where the bone splits long ways not across) years ago.Everytime I use my hand I have pain and since it's my right hand I need it.I have visible muscle wastage in my arm and the doctors say they can't do anything.I don't want to take pain killers all the time so anything that helps is worth a try.Trouble is I don't want to spend £20 or so on something that may not be worth it.
I'd be interested if anyone else has used these with success.Thanks.

they do definately work but obviously take a little time for you to notice, make sure you keep it on 24/7 and with these, it doesnt matter if theyre £1 or £100 they all work. i find it lovely where they can look like normal bracelets as well, so noone else need know x

There are reports that they work. it could well be placebo but who cares if the pain goes?

Thanks everyone,I think I'll go out and get one today.To be honest I'll try anything that helps the pain and won't drug me up.

helps me with my wrists....... unfotunately havent found one large enough to go around my waist to help my back.....

have you looked taking some like glucosamine sulphate.... (i take it fo my knee joints), but i am sure i read somewhere about other stuff...... have a look on the internet for health food supplements

My 73 year old mother has arthritis, and according to her the magnetic bracelets do help. OK, it may be placebo, but as someone else pointed out, who cares if it alleviates her pain?
