Hi,......I use magnets for strengthening my ankle when I know I'll be
doing a lot of walking. ie; grocery shopping. They really help by
increasing circulation, and by keeping the swelling down. They also help
reduce painful muscles spasms, etc. I find the analgesic affects are
comparable to a mild oral pain reliever. They basically take the edge
off, and then I need stronger meds for the more intense pain. The ones I
have are very expensive, but are life-time guaranteed.
I have had good results when bursitis, or tendonitis sets in, and I'll
wear them while I type to help with weakness. I only use one hand to
type and do most things. [I am developing over-use injury syndrome in my
good side.]
I have some literature I can send to anyone who is interested on how
magnets work.
My e-mail address is sjhanan(AT)e-z.net if anyone would like to e-mail me
their address for the literature.
