I'm thrill that you found a benefit to magnet therapy. Most people dismiss it as voodoo while those deriving a benefit think it's G-d's gift.

You should know that not all magnets are created equal. The strength of a magnet is measured in gauss. The stronger the gauss, the greater the benefit to an injury/pain. If the gauss is not available or printed in instructions, such as those you buy at Bed, Bath and Beyond, the benefit is more than likely not worth the price.

Rare earth magnets, small enough to tape to wherever while strong enough to be effective, or even enclosed in jewelry, are available on the internet. Just do a google search.

Too bad though because it's kind of nice to know when rain's coming!
