Pros

easy to apply, no strong odor, lasts for 8 hours

JUN

2008

My husband suffers from chronic back pain and diabetic neuropathy. He takes a myriad of pills, etc. and still suffers. We happened to receive a sample pack of these patches in the mail and he tried them - and they worked! So, we went to the local drug store and bought a box and he swears by them now. When he is suffering from lower back pain we just put a few patches on in the areas that are giving him the most trouble and he really gets relief. One thing to make sure of is that you aren't getting the ones that contain capsaisin (the company offers a variety that DOES have it - but my husband is allergic so we don't use that variety). Another thing to note is that they do not have a strong odor associated with them as do many of the rubs and things (my husband always balked at using them because of the strong smell). They claim to be great for sprains and bruises as well, but I can't attest to having tried it on those yet. But I would definitely recommend to anyone with arthritis pain to give it a try!
