If you’re in enough pain, you’ll do anything to stop it. I had crippling sciatic pain and I would have bought a copper bracelet in a carnival if I thought it would help. (In fact, I considered it.)
Sadly, the copper bracelet is a superstition. If you want one, I’ve seen them at the pharmacy for $5. Or take some house wiring and wrap it around your arm for a few cents.
A link to the column is appreciated. Do copper bracelets ease pain?
