Its amazing. Magnets even help alleviate the pain of downvotes.

  Be inspired to run a small trial of magnets vs placebo by having your S.O. randomly swap them for similarly heavy non-magnetic lumps and keep a journal of the results. Of course puts your pain relief at risk (regardless of its basis), but the sweet taste of upvotes for your home-brew sciencing will make it all worthwhile.

    S.O. better shouldn't know which is which to avoid influence on them, i.e. double-blind the experiment.

      Hmm. So if neither I nor S.O. knew which bracelets had magnets, would that be a double-placebo effect?

    "nazis" (briefly hugs self with silent glee at besting a grammar nazi in the field, then quietly settles to await the inevitable reply pointing out my own solecism)

      Oh, the shame. I've handed in my resignation as grammar nazi.
