leg bands for arthritic knees

[dizzyduck]

Hubby has arthritic knees and whilst glucosamine with cider vinegar seems to work, he wonders if leg bands (magnetic) have any positive effect. Would be interested in hearing from anyone with experience of these. They fasten with velcro just below the knee cap.

I can't help with the leg bands but, just in case you haven't heard of them, I find that the cider vinegar tablets are much more convenient and quicker to take than messing about mixing the liquid variety.

I have a friend with a knee problem and she thinks her magnetic anklet is making a difference. I have used the bracelet for arm pain and it does work. I haven't seen the type you mention, but there are lots!

Thank you both for the advice.

My dear next door neighbour was waiting for a knee repalcement and I bought him one. He did try it a long time but sadly it didnt work for him. Mind you his knee may have been too far gone. I would give it a try anything is better than nothing.
