Has anyone else had success using magnets for pain

I have a number of pain causing physical problems......arthritis, degenerative spine disease, diabetes, etc. For a number of years I  woke up with severe pain in my toes for which I have found that magnetic rings worn on the toes involved stops and or prevents this pain from occurring. I also use them to stop pain in my fingers during the day. Since the onset of my type 2 diabetes I have been using magnetic bracelets to help prevent swelling in my ankles.

Since my success in this method has been so beneficial I hate to think that I am alone in using this method which apparently has no serious side affects and so many uses.

Have you tried them for your degenerative spine disease?  If so, what did you use?  I'm looking for something else to try that has no side effects.  I have a bulging disc L4-S1 and am receiving a first in a series of epidural shots today.  I know it's going to hurt like a son of gun so I'd be willing try this between this one and the next one.  Several years ago I wore a "brace" that had magnets in it and I don't think it worked at all.  I'm wondering what you used if they did work?

Hi Eagul,

I am so glad that magnets have been successful in controlling your pain. I have a few friends with arthritis that claim some releif also with their use.

I have tried them several times but have obtained no relief whatsoever. But I say what every works for you is great.

Thanks for the input. We appreciate all suggestions.
