Pain Relief Patch Large 6 ct (5 Pack)

I have advanced severe osteo arthritis and this is the fastest working longest lasting pain telief I have found. The patch starts giving relief as soon as it is applied and continues to work for at least 2 days if you ignore the warning and leave it on for 2 days. They will stick right through a shower if you just let water run over them and don’t soap them or scrub. Because I am 84 years old and absent minded, I once forgot one on my lower back for 4 days and thought I was getting a lot better and might not need the patches any more. Then the effect wore off. Oh well.

I am 71 years of age and have osteoarthritis. I have tried many many different brand patches. NONE work as good as salonpas. NONE stick to you better than salonpas patches. You get pretty much instant relief . I would be in way worse shape without them. The last time I purchased them was in January and ordered 6 boxes of large patches . I am on my last box, ready to reorder .I prefer the regular Patches . I also have a box of small patches that I use for the tops of my feet , which have arthritis as well . Don’t waste your money on any other patch.

Relief when applied to targeted areas. I purchased the five pack with six pads in each box back in October 2019 for shoulder pain.They recommend eight hour therapy each pad. Using them now in September 2022 for knee pain As one reviewer mentioned...clean area of oils, sweat, whatever so the pad has a better chance of adherence. I clean under my kneecap with a gauze pad saturated with sterile saline water and dry it well with a plain gauze. Even though it’s applied in a flexible area it stays there but may need to push down , especially on the inner knee area if you move around, but it stays put again.

Good productd and price.

I was in trouble. My lower back became 10 on the pain scale. The patches helped a lot. If you're patient and careful you can place the patches pretty well on your back. But perspiration will cause them to slide off. They adhere best to a flatter surface. They have a strong medicine smell however. But when you're sick with pain, you get over it quickly.

I have Fibromyalgia & thought I'd felt every kind of pain - until 5 mos ago. My shoulder very suddenly was hit with sharp pain that knocked me to the floor. Nothing but these patches (I've used the capsaicin ones too, they were great at first, not as much now) has relieved the intensity of pain that honestly just about took my desire to live. *Especially*after I stupidly tripped while holding laundry & re-injured my shoulder. All my weight landed on my arm & shoulder, so the pain became a 24/7 TEN on the PAIN SCALE. Thank God for these things, I never want to be without them. If they made a full body suit for people with Fibro, they'd make a ton of $$ especially since many of us can't work & have no insurance. I'm still discouraged, & I know this is a long review - I'm probably hoping that others in my shoes can be helped - but salonpas has saved me for almost five months. **The only time i had any discomfort - a burning sensation - was after ripping one pad off, noticing "Wow, that was still really sticky!" and slapping on another. IF you want to replace a pad, especially if you remove one that's really adhered to your skin - wait an hour or so before putting on the next one. Don't get in the shower with one on, or put over cut, scrape, etc. I'm amazed I can put these on my shoulder by myself (how did i forget to get married? so dumb! haha). They stay stuck on until I take them off. Thanks Salonpas. I won't make fun of your name ever again. ;0)

We keep plenty of these on hand at home at all times. We also keep them in our gym bags. They work very well for aches and pains. Only down size is they are strong smelling. Doesn't bother me but people will definetly know you have them on!

After months of back pain, I decided to try Salonpas. Within days, my back pain was reduced by 90%. Salonpas seemed to calm my agitated back nerves/muscles. I still have a little back pain, but Salonpas has made a tremendous difference. If your back is at all hairy, you will not like it when you remove the Salonpas patch. After 5 days I had to discontinue use for a few days because my skin became irritated and red.
