MagnetRX® Magnetic Ring – Elegant Stainless Steel Ring – Magnet Rings for Men

Forgot to notice country of originI'm not diagnosed but I'm old and some of my joints have gotten painful. I'd tried a magnetic bracelet I got from the Vine program for a problem with the meat of one thumb and it shockingly seems to have worked so I thought I'd try this for the joint of the other thumb.When I wear this, the pain almost goes away within the day. The only pain I have left is if I press around on it with the other hand, looking for sore spots. If I wear it for 2 solid days, even that pain is diminished so much I'm not even sure it's there.I'm wearing it either slightly forward or slightly backward of that joint, not all the way on the thumb. Because of that and its size, it does get in the way of some things so I take it off. Within a couple of days, it starts hurting again. Rinse, repeat.The magnets in these wearable items are not strong. They're small and weak with a very small effective field. That's ok because I don't want a wrist or my thumb getting stuck or picking up things.Still, it does come with the usual warnings for a magnet, not to use if you have any implanted medical device, etc. That should be expected.It's quite wide. I think it looks kind of odd as a solid band so I chose to wear it with the open end on top. It's not quite so in-your-face. The finish is a nice brushed nickel but again, since it's wide, it gets scratched easily and wearing it this way hides that.I have no idea why or how, but I can't get around the fact my joint pain lessens when I wear this.Don't forget to use the Smile.Amazon.com address - It's an Amazon program where many everyday things you buy will generate a small donation from Amazon to the charity of your choice at no cost to you.

I bought this w/ the intention to use it as an always available magnet to open the child proof cabinet door locks in my house which can be opened easily by any relatively small refrigerator magnet. This doesn't work. Further tests of the magnet against a variety of other steel objects indicates the magnetic effect is barely detectable.

I had to limit the amount of time when doing yard or mechanic work because my hands and fingers will become very painful with temporary finger contractures similar to carpal tunnel syndrome. Had to use pain hand creme to alleviate the symptoms.I have used magnets for pain relief specially for my back due to herniated disks and have had very good results with its use. A bulb lit up when I saw these magnet rings with high gauss as a pain control device so I bought a pair and put it to the test. I was absolutely stunned and at the same time grateful that I found the solution to my pain and contracture ailment. Now I can enjoy hours working in my yard and car without worrying about the pain and discomfort in my hands eliminating temporary pain relief with ointment!!

I've ordered 3 other magnetic rings, MagnetRx is by far the best in Quality. Overall fit and finish superior than the other 3, I should have ordered from MagnetRx from the beginning.

I understand the ring is supposed to be adjustable, hence the 1/4 inch gap in the back. But I ordered a size 10 and received a 9 1/4. By the time I adjust it to a 10 the gap would be approximately 1/2 inch. This is completely unacceptable to me. Back it goes.
