Car wreck on ice when I was 16, and lower back issues can sometimes be debilitating - almost as if my legs are trying to work independently from my hips. I can place a patch on my lower back, and the relief from pain and that disjointed feeling is almost instantaneous (within seconds I can walk normally and without pain). Also, I cut a packet of patches into bandaid-like strips, and use them across the base of my thumbs at night on occasion to relieve arthritis. They work perfectly for osteoarthritis when I need them, and now my sister-in-law uses them nightly on her hands for her rheumatoid arthritis. They prevent morning stiffness for her.

Salonpas patches actually work. They d not ELIMINATE pain, but definitely alleviate it. Hard on the skin, so best to not use on exact same spot two days in a row.

I’ve been using these and their larger siblings for years. I have a bad spine and these patches usually take the pain away within minutes. If I had to report a “disappointment,” it would be that their relief does not last long enough and they do not stick very well in hot, sticky weather. A small price to pay! I would recommend them to anyone.

It always works for muscle pain. I even put it on my fore head whenever I had headaches and tensions in my head due to post concussion syndromes and it works very well. It’s my go to temporary pain relief expect for that I forget to take it off after 8 hours and gave me itchy skin rash.

great product for pain relief

Helps a LOT with my bone pain. I suffer from Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

These are the best pain patches. They work well. They are expensive and hopefully the price will come down.

I've used these for years and recommended them to anyone with temporary or chronic pain. Indiscreet, no overpowering odor. They work.

I used alot of this patch for my back, should, leg or arm pain instead of using medication. Thank Goodness. I love ❤️ this product

The new smaller type cause me to have a rash and I discontinued them after a week of use I had no issues with the older larger version which worked well.
