Hi Chazza, sorry I couldn't reply yesterday. I bought mine in an opne air market in Fuengerola - so I wouldn't worry too much. Most chemists, includiing Boots, and health shops sell them. The copper is supposed to be good for the arthritis and my boss's son wears one all the time. I wanted a magnetic one for the swelling. I think mine cost about �15 (in funny money). As barney1966 says, they may not work for everyone, but all I cansay is the initial result was dramatic and rapid for me (my wedding ring falling off my finger the next day). But the benefit generally has been slow and steady. Now and again I get a twinge for which I take 1X200mg ibuprofen (I think 4 times in the last 12 months) but I was once on strong steroids!!
