Brian, I have a set of the good medical magnets I actually got on EBay. I've never used them. I didn't know where to or how to. How long do you leave them on? We had a thread on magnets on the old board. Wish I had it now.

Its pretty simple stuff Billye, must be, i can do it
Wherever the pain is, thats were you put them, if its a big area, then place a few around that area, when your ready to put a few magnets on, before hand, place them on a table making sure the magnets are well apart from each other, slowly push one of them very slowly towards the nearist magnet, be carefull if there strong ones, as they can slam together and if your fingers are in the way it really hurts, as you get closer and the other magnet you are heading towards, if it moves away from the one that you are pushing, thats great, then thats the way you put them on your body.
If they attract to each other on the table [wrong] see if then you put them on your skin that way up, they will work their way loose and go flying [ smashing ]onto the other magnet[s]
Its a lot easier if hubby could place them onto you, its difficult trying to do your spine by your self.
Don't forget the moleskin, strong magnets can leave a real " red " magnetic burn on your skin, you will need a good strong adhersive tape, something that's water proof is good, just in case you sweet they might fall off you.
I usally leave them in the same spot for about 3 days, you might find that the pain has moved away from the origanal spot, well then of course place them on the sore spot, i have found that it takes a few hours before you notice any relief, the longer their aloud to work the better it normal is.
good luck
Brian
