Do you think magnets are the key to pain?

Answer 1

I have severe arthritis in both hands and possibly carpal in my right hand.(i say possibly because this has not been officially diagnosed although i have the symptoms)It had gotten to the point where i could not write much more than my name before my hand would spazz out and i could,nt hold the pen.i had pain and tingling in both hands along with numbness,that interfered with everything i did.pain medication and anti inflamatories help a little but it,s effect wears off as you become immune to them . in the last few years i lost the ability to hand sew, crochet,bead work ,make jewelry ,all hobbies i loved to do.it was getting to the point where i could,nt even type without horrible pain.Then at Christmas while shopping i saw these magnetic bracelets,Id heard they worked and thought Why not? they were cheap enough.so i popped it on and immediately i began to feel a heat in my arm and hand within two days the tingling numbness stopped along with the aching in my finger joints .I went back and bought another one for my other wrist.I now have more mobility and strength and no pain.something i lived with for so many years so yes i believe they work.will the results last forever or will they too be like the meds and discontinue? do they cure the problem or just slow it down? will it work for everyone ? i dont know the answers to that.All i know is i,m pain free for the first time in 10 years.Do i have to know why it works? so I guess id reccomend that you try it. if it works Praise God!if not. I,m sorry .I know the pain you can go through.and because it,s made a big difference in my life.peace and good luck. ><>
