200mg Pain Patches - 4 Pack For Knee, Period, Muscle, Bone & Joint Discomfort, Ibuprofen 24H Relief Solution

I didn't know that these existed until a physiotherapist told me about them. They are excellent - but only if you can get them to stay in place! The instructions say not to cut them, but I cut them in half and they still work perfectly. At first I just stuck them on my sore hip flexor and unfortunately they would catch on my knickers and unstick every time I needed to go to the loo or undress. So now I use zinc oxide tape or sports tape and it works a treat. These patches are better than Ibuprofen pills for me. My daughter uses them on her knee and has to use tape and a knee sleeve to keep them in place but it is worth the faff. I just wish they would sell them in smaller sizes. The price isn't likely to come down until they sell a much greater volume of them!

I could not find them in my local chemist. So, as always Amazon came to my rescue.They are a great pain patch for mild injuries,aches and pains. Really do last 24 hrs.

A pain patch that actually works. But the price hurts worse than my knees do.... Despite the advice not to, you absolutely can cut them into squares with a set of kitchen scissors eg 3x2. They still work for minor aches and pains throughout the day this way, with the full patch only being necessary for something like a thrown back. It sticks well but does try to peel off with tighter clothes. Not that big a deal. Pain relief usually lasts 8-10h for me, results may vary with your pain tolerance and pain-killer tolerances. Honestly though, despite the price, definitely worth trying but unless your made of money, find a way do not rely on them daily.

These are great I suffer from pain in hip and back due to accident.

These work well - if you can make them stay on! Some body parts work better than others. They advise you to prep the skin with alcohol first, which helps a bit, as does exfoliating the skin with a scrub first. Worn under clothes I find they quickly curl up at the edges, then the exposed adhesive catches in the fabric which pulls on it some more - sometimes ripping it right off if I move too quickly. The instructions say not to cover the patch, which is breathable, with another dressing, but I've found no other way to keep the things stuck to my hip! I wear a massive - and also expensive - Tegaderm film dressing over the top. It's a lot of money for something that doesn't stay stuck on to do its job, but if you can keep it in place for 24hrs and use one for 2 or 3 days, the pain relief is excellent.

These are really really good for my sore lower mid back pain. However. They are too expensive for regular use unfortunately. I bought them for going on holiday with a little of walking to last all day, and they did. Stayed on 24 hours too. Id buy for same again.

Brilliant and cheaper than in the shops...

If you live on your own and you have torn a muscle in your lumber region... don't buy this. It's damn near Impossible to put it on without help or messing it up. Ended up throwing 2 of them in the bin because I couldn't put them on properly.
