magnets

[holden]

Do magnets help arterhitis and do they relieve pain. i got pain on the bottom of my feet. has anyone tryd them?

[scantysandwi]

magnets are said to help arthritis (i'm a sufferer myself), personally i've tried them in the form of a bracelet but had to take it off after a short while because of shooting pains in my arm (my arthritis is in my elbows and knees). one thing that does help is Iboprofen pain killing gel. its worth trying as it gives a good few hours of relief.

Pretty much the same as scantysandwi here but I do have a couple of friends who swear by them, guess my advice would be to suck'em and see.

If it is the onset of arthritis they may help..but once it's gets hold there is no cure . You can only give them a try.
I would see your GP who will be able to give you professional advice and an anti imflammatory gel or medication. Feldene Gel is very good and you can get it over the counter at the chemist.Try Glucosamine or cod liver oil as an alternative.But..these take a while to kick in.
Arthritis in the feet is very painful .If it is in the heel area you may have what are called Hebdens Nodes ..these are what you get in the finger joints. Those knobbly lumps. Once they get to a certain pitch the pain eases.But this takes a long time !
I have tried magnet therapy and it did no good whatsoever.
In the meantime keep moving ! Wiggle your feet about as much as possible .

No they are just a scam to make money from people who are easily fooled!

Been asked before.

Hi Holden, a couple of weeks ago I asked the question whether anyone had any experience on magnet bracelets working for Sciatica as Mr Happy has serious problems and has been in pain for the last 8 months. Look here: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Question205396.html

and I got some really helpful answers. I found a website that sell them and although they're pretty pricey we thought we'd give it a go as we can return it within 90 days if we're not happy with it. This is the website: http://www.magnet-healing.co.uk/magnetic-therapy-wristbands.asp?bat

As it said in the instructions Mr Happy got quite bad pains as soon as he put it on and was advised to just have it on for 10 mins at a time and then build it up. The magnets are really strong and it's only in the last 4 days he's been able to wear it all day. The pain has gradually been getting less and he has been able to cut down on his painkillers and this morning he woke up painfree and feeling great.

It says in the instruction leaflets that they work for arthritis too so if I was you I would do like we did and try it, as mentioned just return it if you're not happy with it. Mr Happy was very sceptical and doesn't believe in anything mumbo jumbo and found the thought of it actually working a bit ridiculous but he's living proof of it now. Good luck ;-)

And contrary to Jennykins - you do not have to put the magnets on the area of pain

I believe they could help,after all they use them on animals,even race horses, but one thing you should try is drink called Honeygar,it is a blend of cider vinegar and honey, I had gout and after taking it for a month it went and hasn't returned in 3 years,give it a go,

happy_face.. You can buy tensor wraps that have built in magnets shaped as coins... If you put the magnet right on the joint you will see better and faster results...

GOOK LUCK! Jen
