Liza,
Brian is sold on magnet therapy. For that matter. so is my wife. she wears 'em day & nite- swears by them as the relief from 24/7 pain from cysts on her spinal column (not operable-so sez the 'chief' at Hopkins).
Glad you are feeling better and BTW, magnets are non invasive.
I'd check with your doc, tho-I think even stainless steel is still a ferrous metal. If he says 'couldn't hurt' (he might be skeptical, tho) give 'em a try.
At least now you can tell people they are a 'pain in the butt'.....and mean it!
