i have had many different things with lidocane in them but never anything like this. usually, there is a coolness to whenever the product with lidocane is used. this is like nothing but water. it did absolutely nothing for my pain. now i have 14 gel pads good for nothing. its a shame because there are tons of people out there that needs what this is supposed to do.😹

I wear these if I know I am going to have a long and/or busy day. I have a torn meniscus in my knee and a "trashed" rotator cuff (that's a quote from my orthopedic surgeon). These help me get through the day and reduce pain to a dull ache. The only reason I gave four stars is because they work pretty much the same way as the cheaper "no-name" version.

The lidocaine 4% salonpas patches provide pain relief so that I can walk normally and get through my daily activities much easier. They work tons better than the other types of patches. With Spinal stenosis, I have a lot of pain down through my hips and legs. The patches almost completely eliminate the radiating pain. They are absolutely essential now to my well being.

I've used a variety of Salonpas patches and they've worked well for back pain relief. I assumed I was ordering the same product in a larger quantity. These patches are not like the others I've used. They seem to adhere upon application but quickly turn into a gummy ball on my back if I am active at all. I cannot make one stay on for 8 hours even when sleeping. I'm wondering if I received a defective lot.

Any product from Japan can be trusted to be of good quality. These patches are a case in point. My father has back pain and has a stimulator in his back he swears by these patches more than any other. You can find bigger patches but these are best for pain.

I was somewhat dubious about whether these Lidocaine patches would really supply any relief for my back pain %26 muscle spasms. To my surprise %26 delight, Salonpas patches calmed down and then eliminated the muscle spasms that I suddenly began experiencing. Literally, within minutes after I applied the patch, it was as if the intensity of the spasms began to diminish and then stopped completely. I had never experienced such a quick relief of my symptoms. I resoundly endorse this product and will be continuing to use these patches whenever I have back pain and/or spasms in the future!

I’ve got a bad back due to a motorcycle accident years ago, I can’t sit for more than a couple of hours without excruciating pain. My back brace helped a little, but since I discovered these I’m finally able to fly to Asia on 12 hour flights. Highly recommended.

Salonpas Lidocaine patches are great to have on hand. These are individually sealed to stay fresh. Great for that back pain when you overdo. Stays secure all day long and applies easily with backing split in the center. Cool when first applied, but adjust to body temp quickly. Good pain relief.

This product is not worth the price. I have used this product in the past and they worked great! But this recent purchase does not work at all because they do not stick! Please fix this issue so people can get the results they need from your product. I know I would!

They are somewhat slimey. They work but they won’t stay in place on broken ribs on the back. And trying to apply it by yourself is difficult. I wasted more than I used as they would roll up on themselves. They work fine if you have help applying them.
