Hisamitsu Antiphlogistic Salonpas Pain Relief Patch 140 Patches (镇痛消炎贴)

I have been in2 auto accidents. Rear- ended, 3 months apart.My husband covers my back, sides,etc. with SalonPas.Yes, they do not last more than 8 hours regarding pain, but it is worth it. They smell, too! If you wish to get rid of the menthol odor, can be extremely strong, I spray my nightgown, PJ or shirt, etc.with unscented enzyme spray. Usually purchased by ones who want to rid their rooms/houses of pet urine, etc.Hang up the garment while you spray the front and back. Dries quickly.Next morning dry and ready for another night, or day! Even though I am not old, age wise. My body does not agree!Note- If you have allergies, the menthol clears up your sinuses! I will continue to buy SalonPas until I do not need them.

Oh my goodness! I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am that I found these pain patches. I’m finally able to sleep at night! I have several old injuries that are now coming back to bite me and I have been suffering with a sleep deficit now for many years because the pain is unbearable sometimes. I could take Motrin or Aleve, but that’s not a solution I’m happy with because long term use of the OTC drugs is not good for you. So I was really hoping to find an alternative for that and these pain patches, so far, have been an answer for me.

My friend and fellow arthritis sufferer turned me on to these patches.I immediately felt relief and went looking for a larger supply. These smaller patches may need two to do the job, but I did try a box of the bigger ones and they were very hard to apply without getting them stuck to themselves, especially on places like my lower back. If you are trying to do a solo job, use the little ones. Ive dealt with arthritis pain for years in all of my joints. Ive tried topical creams, pills, you-name-it. The Solonpas patch is the best relief, for a reasonable amount of time, that I have ever found. And everyone Ive shared them with seems to have the same good experience.

I have moderate/severe scoliosis and every once in a while certain muscles will hurt very badly and there is only so much stretching I can do. These work in the sense that they stop me from being completely stiff but I haaate the burning/cooling sensation. It’s hard not to focus on it honestly, maybe that’s just me. I only use these when I’m on the verge of tears basically. Wish I didn’t buy the big pack.Edit: Updating to 5 stars because there was a learning curve. My pain/muscle strain radiates and at first I had been positioning them not in the right spots. You have to make sure to pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from which is not always that easy but if you can get the hang of it, there is no burning sensation and only relief. Even if not 100%, they do ... MoreI have moderate/severe scoliosis and every once in a while certain muscles will hurt very badly and there is only so much stretching I can do.

Lidocaine patch for real relief

I have been using the patches for bad nerve pain. I am getting a horrible back surgery soon and use these in the meantime with great success. I leave them on a lot longer than recommended because they do not cause any problem and I get very good relief after about 2 hours. I do have to tape them on, all sides, with a paper type tape because they will NOT stay on. The product is a great blessing for relief. I first clean the skin with 91% alcohol and a cotton swab, then apply with tape when dry. Surgeon tells me I can use them along side the surgial cut but not on the incision itself

Miraculous

I would give this 20 stars. Works great for me. Wish it came as finger sleeves or gloves, Well a whole body suit if wishes were coming true, Works faster then any of the other many pain relievers I have tried. Easy to keep a few patches in your pocket or purse,

PATCH it; not a cure.

Provides very good, temporary, relief from minor muscle aches and inflammation. For me, works better than gels or lotions for localized conditions. Pad provides barrier between skin and clothing to avoid staining clothing. Like similar products, these will produce a rash like discoloration of the skin with prolonged use.

Product great, but Fedex delivery disappointing

Salonpas is a great product and I use it regularly. However, the Fedex delivery makes it risky too order this item because their policy of leaving deliveries at nearest home entry means they leave it sitting out in the open in front of my garage instead of taking an additional 6 steps to place it in a covered entry. In front of the garage, it is subject to getting wet when it rains and porch pirates can easily see there is a package in the open in front of my garage door which is close to the street.

Salonpas (SMALL) patches - all you need!!

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.

Topical pain relief for smaller areas

Great smaller patches! I've used Salonpas for years and this is the first time I've ever seen them in the smaller size. They are perfect for elbows, knees, anywhere that a larger patch won't fit (and therefore won't stay stuck). These are great pain relievers for my arthritis and just plain sore muscles. And I feel much better about using them often than taking ibuprofen, which I reserve for very severe pain.
