copper bracelets for rheumatism - do they work?

[donnie]

Hi folks,do any of you have experience of, or know someone who has worn a copper bracelet for rheumatic pain and found it helpful? I ask because my poor old dad has a lot of rheumatism and is fed up of anti inflammatory pills. Any comments gratefully received!

Dh has worn one for years but tbh, I don't think it helps. However, he won't take it off now, just in case it does get worse!
