I love these little pain patches. I have arthritis and the patches are easy for me to use at my desk at work or before I go to bed at night. I use them on my hands, my knees and even on my jaw where arthritis pain can be so painful.

I have a chip of bone with fluid in my ankle. It hurts daily. Cold weather and dampness makes it worse. I apply one of these and the pain goes away. I keep some in my office as well as beside my bed. The only drawback is that you will smell like a big peppermint lifesaver : )

 
WOW does this stuff work.
By Nora the teacher from Phoenix Az on 3/3/2008
Pros:
Good Value, Relieves Pain
Best Uses:
Athletes, Everyday Use, Injury Recovery, Older People
Describe Yourself:
Regular user
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this product and have been using it for years. I use it for all sorts of pain. I cut the patches down to use on my stiff fingers and wrists. I use them on my neck and back. I find them especially useful for menstral cramping. I am a teacher and I have recommended them to my students, teenaged girls with menstral cramps and athletes with sore muscles find them particularly helpful. I have recommended these things nearly 100 people and they have all been thrilled. One warning though, if you get sweaty under them they can burn a little. I live in Phoenix and have tried to not to put them on in the summer if I am going outside.

 
Good value - recommended by my doctor

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have a very large painful spur on the back of my heel. My doctor recommended this hoping to stop the pain so I could sleep through the night. These gave some relief but I am still awakened by the pain, it's just not as severe as without the patch. I would certainly use these on any muscle discomfort and be assured of its relieving aches and pain.

 
Truly a wonder
By Jean from Chattanooga, TN on 1/4/2008
Pros:
Good Value, Relieves Pain
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I picked up a package of these little pads, took them to the drug counter to pay for them, and was told by the pharmacist that this was a very good product. She herself had used them and found them to give quick relief. I was amazed at the relief I got from this product. I have moderate arthritis in my neck. I also suffer from a lot of muscle tension in my neck. Because the medicine in this patch is absorbed into your bloodstream where you place the patch, you get quick relief from the medicine. I have found that this is a very useable product at bedtime. Usually I can get relief within ten minutes from application.
The only thing that I wish that could be changed about this product is that the pad were just a little bit bigger.

Works miracles!!
By AlmaVerified Reviewer from Seattle, WA on 11/9/2007
Pros:
Good Value, Relieves Pain
Cons:
No Cons
Best Uses:
Whenever you need it
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product has given me amazing results, I used to have massage therapy for back pain, but felt that it only helped my back pain while I was getting the massage, when it was over I still had the pain. The pain was constant. I applied the medicated pads in all the areas where I felt the pain & muscle tension, I kept them on overnight. By the morning I felt as if loads of weight had been removed from my back & completely painless. (I am not exagerating, this is an amazing product with an amazing price tag!) I use it whenever I feel a little tense & it never fails, I love it!!!

Works Wonders
By KClarke from Boston, Ma on 4/2/2007
Pros:
Good Value, Relieves Pain, Simple To Take
Cons:
Smells like Vicks
Best Uses:
Athletes, Everyday Use, Injury Recovery, Older People
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When I first feel back pain, I immediately apply the patch to the area. Within minutes, I can feel it working. You can leave it on for up to 8 hours, which is what I usually do, but you don't have to. It's small, non bulky and, other than the smell (kind of like Vicks Vapor rub) it's a perfect product.
