Metallic bracelet

Do you mean the health alert bracelet or ‘health giving’ type?

What sort? I had a very attractive magnet one that was claimed to do all sorts so got it as a pressie. Did nothing identifiable.

Mine was just a bracelet with a really difficult catch.

Yhe magnet one I think. They suppose to help with all sorts of pain arthritis migraine etc

My sister tried one for chronic pain from too much abdominal surgery but it didn’t help. A friend who had sore knees from too many years of skiing holidays found it didn’t make much difference.

Yes I had one briefly. No apparent help although what with the bracelet and the metal hip, it was chaos at the airport. Not a problem now, of course.

Do you mean one of the magnetic bracelets? I got one when I developed sciatica quite a few years ago and it really helped with that but I don’t think it helps with my GCA and Polymyalgia.
