Trion:Z Dual Loop Magnetic / Ion Bracelets and Rolex Watches

I've got a case of tennis elbow on my right arm. I was looking on the web for some form of support to help it when I came across the Trion:Z Dual Loop Magnetic / Ion Bracelets. These have 2 x 1000 gauss magnets on. I know that if I had a Milgauss it would not be affected. Do you think a normal Rolex would be affected worn on the left arm with the braclet on the right? I think it proberbly wouldn't be a go idea to have the two in close proximity, what do you guys think

Don't know about how they'd effect the watch Toby but you do have my deepest sympathy about the tennis elbow. I used to be a sufferer myself, tried everything from snake-oil, robo-cop supports through mumbo jumbo magnets , cortisone injections etc until I got the cure, namely a lateral epicondylectomy

It's perfect now, no more pain & a cool 10 inch scar that makes me look windswept & interesting

Seriously, I hope it all goes OK pal

I play golf for a living, so i can relate to your tennis elbow. I wear the Trion on my left wrist and my EX2 on the right. I have never had any issues with it. Get well soon.

Two words are the only true cure for your problem...Tommy John. Good luck with your treatments and hope you don't need any surgery.

I have played completive golf most of my life. I am now 45. 4 years ago I has tendenitis so bad I had to quit playing golf. I tried everything including all types of magnetic and ion bracelets. I was taking Advil like they were candy. After going through rehab for 6 months without much success I has surgery. 3 months later I was back playing golf without any pain. November 4, 2008 I had the same surgery on my right elbow. I just had a 6 week check up with my Dr. He gave me the OK to start putting and chipping. 4 weeks from now I will be back playing. I no longer play competitively, just for fun. I own a Fitting and Repair Center here in Tampa and have worked with several golfer with the same problem. If your Tendonitis is a result of playing golf I would recommend either changing your irons to graphite shafts. It that does not work for you then try a True Temper Sensicore shaft. The shock of hitting the ball with a steel shaft is what is causing the tendenitis.

If you have tendenitis get it checked out before it becomes chronic.
