Due to chronic pain, I have been using this patch for several weeks now, and it has helped me tremendously deal witht he never ending pain I deal with day in and day out. In the past I have had injections to relieve pain, and I was sceptical about this treatment but it works for me.

I have had to have cortizone epidermals in my sacroliac 3 times a year. I started the patch 3 weeks ago and it is very effective. Can tell when it is wearing off but it gives me reief when I have it on.

I have had phn for 10 years. This is my first time using it. I have samples but so far it has been great. I have already stopped taking the oxycodone pills and no pain.

I have 4 buldging discs in my lower back and constant stiffness & pain in left shoulder/neck area. I used 2 patches on my back and 1 on my neck/shoulder area. I got relief in my back where I could walk the equivalent of 1 block prior to having to rest my back but the discomfort in my neck was reduced but not eliminated. I still had to do neck circles throughout the day to keep the stiffness at bay. I'll report back to my doctor in next 3 weeks to get his opinion on pain mgt. As for me, the jury is still out on this depending on what type of pain you are experiencing.Read More Read Less

I had a tkr last year, and I still have severe pain grinding, and crunching in that knee, plus the skin over my patella is extremly sensivitve to touch. I use the patches at night, and it does bring relief.

Used for lower back pain and hip pain. It provided little relief. Over the counter menthol containing spray and salves work better.

I applied as directed, but I found it doesn't do anything.I might have had the pain too long for it to work properly.
