My broke wrist (3 bones, 6 breaks), is on the mend but stiff. I'm curious if any of you have tried magnetic bracelets etc, for arthritis pain? I've read up on them and most say it's a placebo, but there is actually evidence they do help circulation. Bein 65, I'd like to stave off any future incapacity if I can. Thanx.

They are a placebo. It's been proven. Get a couple if it makes you feel better; I wear a coupla copper / steel mag bracelets, and the only effect they've ever had is to turn my skin green due to acidic sweat. Do the rehab exercises they give you, even if they hurt initially. Was it your fingering hand or your strumming hand?

You might want to check out hops, works as a painkiller/anti-inflammatory alone and as an anodyne with other pain meds.

I have had very good results taking hops.

well  .. the medical   community,  the  f.d.a  and  powers  that  be ,    will attempt to  tell  you  it  doesn't  work  .

 and anyone selling them   will  tell  you  it  does  .. along  with   people  that have  tried  it giving you  their  perspective  .  

the official  stance  by  the medical  community    , is  that  it  has  been  proven  to  be a  placebo .

but  this  is  not    entirely true  .  in   fact ,  in all  the    original  tests    comparing  a  regular  identical   bracelet   against    magnetic  one  ,  showed  the magnetic    one giving     best  results   every time  . 

so   they    said  .. "well  "  maybe  people  can  tell     which  is  the  placebo  ..  because  its  easy  to  see  if  it  is not  magnetic  ... "    so  they   tested     it   in  copper  bands     so  the  mag   difference     would   not  show  ..  again  ..  better  results   for the   mag  ..  and surprisingly, even     the plain   copper band    gave    better  results  than the  fake   regular     band   earlier  . 

so  they  said  "  well...      um ... maybe        they  think  copper   is a healer  itself ,,    thus   voids  .   the  placebo  test.

they  kept   doing this ,   over  and  over    , and  over  ,  till  they  came  up  with a test   with  ONE  negative     result  ..  then  claimed   it  doesn't  work.

in the  end  it seems  more  like they were hired  to  discredit    it  ,, and  tried  until  they  did  ,  then  stopped  . 

 if you  look at the studies    it     tells a much  different story  ..  in fact   , sales  of  copper  bracelets  went  up  right  after these  test  results  . their  tests  shows an improvement  over  a  band  not  even in the same test  .  lol

  then  again  .. many actual  doctors  have  written books  on the  topic  ,  praising  it  . 

and  not to  mention  ..  even  the  test   that   say  its a  placebo  ..    proves  that  placebos    still  work.

best  answer  is to  try it   yourself  .. at  worst  ,,  you  are  not getting cheated   out  of   the small  price  of a  bracelet  ,,   you are   buying   your  own   experienced  opinion. 

:-o

Done the rehab stuff, I'd say I'm at 95+% back to battery after 7 weeks, and it was my strumming (finger picking) hand. There seems to be no interference with my fingers at all. I was kicked in the ankle buy a horse once and limped some and could forecast the weather for a couple of years. That was about 18 yrs ago, back when you're supposed to heal better.

Hops? Pill form or beer LOL?

Whichever you prefer, IPA or capsule... :-)

I have a bracelet blessed by the spirits and washed in the water from an enchanted stream, and left overnight on a full moon within the Glastonbury stone circle.....it works every time for me !   :-)

...still can't fucking play though... ;-)

could never happen

...an example of my very dry sense of humour not working in written form Pick. No offence meant my friend.

all  good Richey  ,  thanx  man ;-)
