They're all the same size IIRC. You just bend it to what's comfortable and where the mags touch the inside of your wrist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,393 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I had one and it turned green so I. Binned it I checked out the ones in the back of the Shooting times and there nearly £200 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,528 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I believe Sandymere rates them highly Malt Been wearing one for about 20 years, don't know whether it works or not but I'm still going Cheers, D. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,631 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 A farmer I know, tough as feck he is, was advised to take Primrose Oil tablets for his bad back. Sure enough they did the trick and he's improved no end. I know women are told to take them when they're going through the change but they've certainly helped this fella out. My old man has just started taking B12 supplements to help with his tiredness. Bingo, he's bouncing off the wall now. So, perhaps try speaking to the folk in Holland And Barratt, they may recommend an alternative to pain killers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I know one green thing that will ease pain. Can grow it yourself too if you're not too obvious. Used to treat all sorts of ailments for hundreds of years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,260 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Arthritis UK have reviewed many alternative remedies, they are kinder than I would be lol see link http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.arthritisresearchuk.org%2F~%2Fmedia%2FFiles%2FArthritis-information%2FAdditional-items%2FCAM%2520Report.ashx&ei=bJ_0UoD7Io_e7Aa01ICIBw&usg=AFQjCNGrTItEcTa3ZA2a96tIeDO-C1qPZw&bvm=bv.60799247,d.ZGU alas none work as well as a paracetamol. Love the idea of green blood lol, I expect plumbers never get arthritis!!!! “Alice laughed: “There’s no use trying,” she said; “one can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Alice in Wonderland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wullz 408 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Get one Scotty, the copper is the best in my opinion, tried the magnets too and I think the copper is far better. Dont car if it's psychosomatic, it seems to work.....my right wrist is banjaxed after years of rugby and punching etc. If I don't wear it it's sore, if I do, it's better....does me! Don't worry about the green, it's not f****n green!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Do you know it is arthritis? I thought the copper bracelets were only for that. Might have an issue with you cartilage or ligaments that could be fixed with keyhole surgery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 i snapped my knee cap in half few year back,gives me proper jip in wet/cold days. dont know if that would class as arthritis or not lol like i said tried pain killers from drs,and friends.but i really cant take to them. nurofen is my limit,and i dont get much relief from them.

Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Wonder if some kind of heat relief would be better. You can get knee supports that you put in the microwave and then wear over joints which are supposed to be pretty good. If cold sets it off might be worth looking in to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 its my own fault really,i just suffer stuff,never go to drs or that lol all they do is palm you off with pills.got those tramadol from a mate.wow they knock you for a six,horrible feeling. got dh48s or something and they made me depressed and made my face itch lol i will see about a heat pad.used to have a support thing,but it didnt work. thing i have noticed in recent months,when i bend my knee,f***ing hell there some creaking and clicking going on haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
