I was just reading my health book and I came across a statement that I have never heard of. Why do some people use wearable magnets to treat arthritis and painful joints? What is the purpose for wearing magnets? And also, why do golfers (or not just golfers) wear copper bracelets? What is the significance of wearing copper bracelets while golfing?
I was just curious as to why people do all of this as an alternative to paying for medications and what not.

I always have sore shoulder muscles due to sitting at the computer all day. I have decent posture, and an ergonomic desk, but I am literally at the computer all day for work and constantly have sore shoulder muscles/back muscles. Any possible folk remedies - like people who wear copper bracelets for arthritis?

A friend is wearing a copper bracelet, which he says helps his arthritis. I think this is fine, but I wonder how much copper his skin is absorbing, and is there a toxic effect in the long term?
It turns his wrist a bit green.
Also, how does this idea work? Is there a chemical reaction in the body? Or, if it's all in your mind, isn't it still effective since the pain is gone, for whatever reason?

I am curious and would like others opinions.
I have been dealing with throbbing pain since a accident when a very early teen. Over 20 years now.
I had yet another accident within the last 3-4 years. Causing another host of painful outcomes.
Anyhoo I have been talking with others who do not understand that I do not take so many pain killers as to be "out of it". These people do not understand. The group of peeps (it is a medication group) seam to think one should not feel any pain what so ever at anytime!
I am curious how many people think it is OK to feel....pain. I mean when it gets real bad I do take something. I am deathly afraid of being (or getting) addicted to pain killers!! I have kids that need me. I see how other people are and do not want to be this way.
At the moment if I went to the doctors for my arms (tennis elbow? I have RA) I would have to have very painful injections with needle.
My motto Pain is just a way to no you are alive.....
What is your opinion?
I thought I would add I do have a seizure disorder which makes some pain killers off limits to me.
RA is rheumatoid arthritis, some mornings I can not walk, move.

Hi,
I have read at many places that infrared therapy is very effective in giving reliefs from arthritis pains?
Have you heard about it or have first hand knowledge about it?
Do you know about side affects of it, if any?
Do you know someone personally who has used it and have benefited by it?
Thanks,
Ashish

I have a moderate case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and have been on pretty strong medications for it since I was 2 years old. I currently have a 3 1/2 month old and am breast feeding so I can not take any medication. I am in a lot of pain but do not want to sacrifice the breast feeding so I am looking for another option. Example: a special diet or anything???

I've got some arthritis in my ankles, my ankle gets swollen sometimes and the podiatrist said it's from instability.. I'm trying to figure out what kind of shoe or sandal do I need in order to accommodate this problem?
I'm guessing nothing that "wobbles" but what else should I look for?
