ELI5: How does copper in gloves, socks, or compression sleeves relieve pain?

I keep seeing commercials with Brett Favre or other people talking about copper in socks or other sports related equipment and how it relieves pain or increases circulation. How does this work? Or, possibly a better question, why is it bogus?

It doesn’t do anything. 

As for why it’s bogus; that would be because it doesn’t do anything. 

Fools are easily parted from their money and there’s always someone willing to sell them some bullshit.
