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.

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 ;-)
