Re: Re: Joints

["Martin Macken" <mmacken@jps.net>]

My wife got them for me, but I think it was at Gottschalks.  They are from
HoMedics and they are encased in a number of different belt type things held
in place by Velcro.  They have them for ankle, elbow, knee, neck, wrist,
etc. I used them on my knee after a problem that lasted about 6 months.  The
pain went away in about one week.  Stooped using them and it came back.  Put
them on for another week or to. No pain sense.  Knock on wood.

good luck
