    I spent slightly more than I usually do for some copper threaded compression socks.

    I don’t give a damn about the pseudoscience bull about copper relieving pain; but I figured it’s stronger than cotton and it hasn’t let me down in the wear and tear department.

        100% worth it. I got my first pair 3 years ago and only just wore a hole in them. Gonna send them in for my new pair soon.

        Yep. It’s been years, but I remember seeing ads for and being sold on store shelves these copper bracelets that were like those medical alert bracelets, but copper, as well as copper threaded compression socks both being advertised as relieving pain, curing sickness, removing toxins from the body, and all that other snake-oily bull that’s been perpetuated about copper since mankind has been using the metal.

        Hell, the socks I own aren’t even sold in the normal clothing section; they’re in the pharmacy with the back braces and splints and such.

            Anyone sitting or standing the whole day at work is very prone to get circulation problems later in life. I don’t know how good these socks are for prevention though.
