Use for lower back pain and spine arthritis. The patches make it possible to function, significant pain relief. It helps to tape the edges down with athletic tape otherwise the edges catch on clothing and pull the patch loose. Far fewer side effects than oral NSAIDS and better relief.

Is expensive but takes the edge off. I use for L-spine DJD and combine with 300mg Neurontin for best effect. Less problems with gastrointestinal upset without hassle of narcotics. Some skin irritation (ask for a sample if you have sensitive skin). Some trouble keeping in place.

I was prescribed a trial of Flector patches for my lower back pain. They worked great. Even stopped the pain in my leg from nerve damage. Unfortunately my insurance didn't cover them and they are very expensive.

Seems to be working pretty well, but it's hard to keep in place for 12 hours on my back while still trying to go about some normal activity. Probably needs more adhesive.
