I woke up this morning with pains here and there and had it for most part of the day and I kept saying to myself hope all is well within.
Out of boredom I went to a pharmacy store just looking around and I came across a copper brackets, that supposedly helps with reliving pains in joints and bones, arthritis and sports pain. I almost bought it buh on a second thought decided to ask the house if anyone has used a copper bracelet and if it does help in alleviating pain?

I tried one and it turned my wrist green but didnt seem to have any effect on the joint pains

My father tried one and swore by it. Of course, he also swore by a quart of vodka a day and never took his arthritis meds which may negate the value of his endorsement.
I just did a quick search and found this which may be of interest. It's from a site called Daily Dose of Common Sense and it cites a study by the NHS in the UK so I would give it some credit. Basically they claim there is no benefit.

BTW - are you asking solely for arthritis or is your question in relation to copper bracelets and HIV?

Thanks for the response peeps.
@ iggy, to clarify what I'm asking is if it wld help with the bone and joint pains we feel, since it is claimed to help for other forms of pain.

My husband tried one, it didn't make a blind bit of difference, I'd spend my money on better things if I were you.

I wear a Copper chain bracelet, I cant say its helped too much if at all. But...I keep wearing it .
I find a daily aspirin helps with my joint pain.

The idea of a copper bracelet treating bone and joint pain is a huge scam. Unless you like the jewelry effect you should search elsewhere, like your doctor if the pain is unsettling.

Really -- if it were this simple to control joint pain, I think we would all KNOW that it works.
To me.... this falls under the old adage:
"if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

But Mike, the late night TV commercial says it works ???

i would suggest CoQ10 for joint pain.
it is also good for the heart.

Does one still feel the joint pain while on medication?
-
Some of them were quite stylish a while back. I wore one and it helped with nothing except my over-rated stylish opinion of myself. ;D
White Zin has delivered me from AIDS, liver failure, joint pain and depression. I can not provide proven links, but it's enough situational data for me.
Hope you get some relief soon.

I believe this would depend on what is actually wrong wtih the joints and the extent of the damage, or disease.

He was making a joke. White zin is a cheap wine that for some unknown reason people drink. Usually old ladies.

Not quite an old crow either. Besides, I've aged nicely like an expensive wine. Probably about time to unpop that cork? ;D

Do copper bracelets work?
Yes, they do.
If you see someone wearing a copper bracelet you can be certain he or she is a complete and utter fuckwit.
Be sure to offer to sell him or her a bridge.
