Guest guest Posted March 8, 2000 Report Share Posted March 8, 2000 Welcome , Thanks for posting! And please, do it often. We really need to hear the male point of view. Lord knows the females in this group have no trouble speaking out!!!! (lol) I have purchased magnet braces for 2 of my daughters. One has ankle pain and the other has knee pain. Both of them say the magnets help relieve the pain when they wear them. I have no reason to doubt that they do - preteens have a way of telling you " like it is " about everything!!!! And I personally prefer the magnets to medication at this point in time. If anyone ever hears of any detrimental effects from magnets, please let me know. I don't care if studies suggest they don't work; if my kids feel some relief then I am grateful. However, I would hate to think I am helping them when I am actually harming them. Again, welcome . You are in a wonderful and elite group here.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2000 Report Share Posted March 8, 2000 Hi everyone - awhile ago we had some discussion about magnets for pain and someone asked if there were any medical studies on this. Well, the March 8, 2000 JAMA just got to my desktop and in Vol. 283, No. 10, there are results of a magnets and back pain study done. Here is the site: http://www.jama.ama-assn.org/issues/V283n10/toc.html it is the 5th story listed (under the Viagra advertisement!)
