Don't see why not. Stents normally made of silicone ,so won't be affected.

Check with doctor tho tomorrow..

If u look at the blog 11 November 2012' there was a huge debate on the use of copper insoles. They have huge marketing that they are such

a miracle cure, sorry they are not IKE! If they were the NHS would use them, but they don't , they spend millions on research for us developing things like biological drugs. So for me they may do more harm than good, too much copper in the system s harmful and can cause some diseases! Also when I have my sore feet think it would be uncomfortable. Do look at the blog, lots of people saying its a waste of money but of course that is my opinion lol, Axx

Check with your GP/consultant first. LavendarLady x

I wouldn't bother with the insoles!

I think I said on the last message thread on this that I personally wouldn't bother with "copper" treatments for RA - two reasons: first that there is absolutely nothing proven so its just a waste of money, and second because of the potential for you to absorb excess copper through your skin which could cause serious health problems on its own (check out Wilsons disease if you want to see one result of too much copper in your system). Copper toxicity is something that a friend of mine went through, and she was very ill before they figured it out.
