I was prescribed this for the arthritis in my back & am happy with it as it doesn't irritate me stomach. The price is prohibitive though, sad to say I won't be using it much longer.

I have arthritis, bursitus, and fibromayalsia. Found that the patches have worked really well for me. I am however really dissapointed with the cash pay price. Prescription for 60 patches is $425 here in Florida. But, how do you put a price on pain relief that is non-narcotic? Narcotic pain meds only lead to more pain meds and more pain. Take it from one who has been there and has recovered from 5 ... Show Full Comment

Take it from one who has been there and has recovered from 5 years of dependance. Flector patches have helped me get off those kind of meds. If King Pharmicuticals and the other company that distributes these patches is reading this, you would sell much more of the patches if you would lower the price and get the FDA approval for use on the conditions that most doctors are prescribing them for!

Used patch for arthritic, bursitis and fibromyalgia in both hips, cut one in half to put on each side, changed them every 12 hours, stayed on well and worked. After 15 days I am covered in itchy hives and have been given an inhaler to help stop the constant coughing I have developed. Now trying Singular to get rid of the hives.

After 15 days I am covered in itchy hives and have been given an inhaler to help stop the constant coughing I have developed. Now trying Singular to get rid of the hives. With the added stress of this, pain is now worse then before and I itch like crazy. Everyday I wake up to see what part of my body has the hives now, hope it ends soon, it's been 5 days so far and yes I quit the patch when this started.

I am using the Flector Patch on my knee after just having knee replacement. However, I have noticed from the knee down I have broken out in a rash

I have long-term, major back issues and I've had multiple surgeries/fusions for my lower back. For the past several years I've had significant constant pain in my spine just below the shoulder blades. The pain managment doctor prescribed these patches to help alleviate the pain. Unfortunately, they have no effect on my pain so I still hurt like heck. The only think that seems to work for me is highest allowable dose of slow release morphine sulfate 3 x day, and the highest allowable dose of percocet 3 x a day along with ice. For me, these patches are a complete waste of time and money and royal pain to put on my back. As my back hurts, the contortions necessary to put this on my back are unbelievable and then the patch does not stick well so I'm constantly having to press it back down. I'd recommend saving your money and the annoyance and do NOT accept a prescription for the patches.
