Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Rheumatoid Arthritis "I was having knee pain so I bought the cream and a patch, rub the cream the following day my knee and the back of my thigh were inflamed and swollen with blisters and I felt like I had a fever. The swelling was so bad I could not bend my knee it took one month to get rid of the side effects, consult your Dr. This over the counter cream is dangerous."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Osteoarthritis "Since I only recently purchased my first package I do not know what the old was like. I have had so much relief from the latest formula. My sister recommended them and I love them for arthritic back and hips. I only use small patch. I can see how large might be hard to apply without help but I haven't had any trouble at all and they stay on just fine. My stepdaughter recently visited and her knees were hurting. They helped her as well. Don't change a thing. Advise from a new loyal customer."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Osteoarthritis "I have osteoarthritis in my lumbar spine to the point that I cannot stand up some time. The Salonpas patches actually work better than the prescription ones the doctor gave me. I think they're great, but I wish I was sure they would not hurt my kidneys like other topical can."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "I used Salonpas patches for muscle pain. I did not receive any relief due to patches not sticking to skin. I washed and dried skin thoroughly. I remember Salonpas patches worked a few years ago and stayed stuck until they were taken off and they relieved the pain. Now, maybe the patch stays stuck on skin approximately 15 minutes and rolls off. No pain relief at all. Waste of time and money. ."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Rheumatoid Arthritis "Stuck on salonpas on my strained ankle and within few hours, had a patch of red rashes with blisters. 1 week later, the whole patch became scaly and thick with countless blisters that broke and crusted. This is some dangerous medicatec plaster. I never had an allergy that bad!"

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Osteoarthritis "I live with chronic pain due to osteoarthritis. Prescribed gabapentin, using bengay, CBD cream, a TENS device and taking tylenol, nothing helped for more than a couple hours. I dreaded going to bed at night. That was until I tried Salon Pas. Easliy applied the patch to my lower back according to the instructions, slept through the night, woke up rested and feeling soooo much better."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "Never buy this again. Salonpas Lidocaine patch never touched my pain. I couldn't tell I had it on. Couldn't never feel the medicine doing anything. $10 dollars for the box. Now I'm stuck with my pain and patches that don't work."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "Recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Suffering from terrible back, hip & side pain. Bought these thinking they are worth a try. I am so happy I did. My pain eased enough to sleep and I still feel the effects a couple of days later. I've only used 1 at a time but its enough for me. I find them awkward to put on my back but my husband helps. I take my time and do it carefully, if it folds over I just slowly peel it apart. They stick well, no wrinkling or falling off. They smell amazing!"

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) "Both me and my boyfriend have been using these patches for a number of weeks now. One patch lasts 8-10 hours. We bought from eBay at a fraction of the price charged by the local chemists. They have been absolutely amazing in reducing our serious pain. Highly recommended."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "Salonpas Pain Patch are hard to apply when you live alone and the pain is on your back. It was a struggle to keep it from folding over on itself and next to impossible to get it in the right place. It is sort of on the area now, wrinkled and I am waiting for something to happen. I probably will return to voltaren"

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "Purchased the Salonpas Pain Relieving Gel-Patch HOT for muscle pain in my shoulder at the recommendation of a pharmacist. The box I purchased had an expiration date of 10- 2019, however not one of the first three patches I used created any heat whatsoever. Pathetic product. Threw the remaining 3 patches in the trash and went back to TheraMax heat patches which are excellent."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "I used 2 of the Salonpas with Lidocaine patches for muscle pain in my shoulder and neck area. Started getting a rash after the second application. The rash is in the shape of the patch, very itchy and bumpy and looks like it could blister."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "Surprised by some of the adverse comments regarding this product. I find instant relief and long-lasting relief when I use them for shoulder and neck pain. And I can now get a good nights sleep with their use. And they are really simple to apply. Good product."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "I've used Salonpas Patch for muscle pain for a few years. They definitely help the pain every time. Yes, they do have a tendency stick to themselves, which is awkward. But, it is possible to keep them usable. I just have to pay attention and don't rush. I wipe the area with a cloth wetted with alcohol. They always stay for me then. I'm having back spasms now and a prescription muscle relaxer hasn't touched the pain. These took it away. Well worth the effort."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "I bought the 105mg/31.5 medicated plaster. After reading mixed review I decided to take chance as in so much pain. Had neck and shoulder pain for couple years. The plaster stuck well to clean dry skin and after second day I could feel a difference. It says not to wear after 3 days however when you open pack of 5 you need to use them, so I did and I think they are really worth buying. I will definitely keep them in house to use, I also use a hot water bottle directly on pain which gives some comfort. Hope this helps"

For Muscle Pain "I was having some muscle pain in my legs, and so my Husband put some of the rub on my leg and as soon as he started rubbing it in I wreaked of pain and it felt like someone had a torch to me! Now I look like I have had the one leg in the sun for hours with an oil on it. I can not put pants on it or anything over it because it is a bad burn."

Pain Stick Sports Formula (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "Be careful overusing. It’s will feel like your are burning. It’s does very little if you are feeing muscle that is actually caused by a pinched nerve. If you have nerve pain and not inflammation ..... Ya need an opioid. All otc meds treat inflammation and not nerve pain."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "The amount of pain creams I have tried for my arthritis is honestly crazy, but the one I have stuck with for the last 7 months is Absorbine Jr. The cream moisturizes while its relieving the pain so my skin still feels healthy after using it. Some other creams I used dried out my skin and irritated it. This just feels like I'm moisturizing while also gaining pain relief to go about my daily life as usual. Honestly a life saver."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "I’ve been using salonpas for a long time now and this is the only time that I experienced a side effect. The skin where I placed the patch leaves a hive or a big whole rash and it is so itchy and uncomfortable."

Salonpas Pain Gel (methyl salicylate) for Muscle Pain "I have tried all types of pain relief. Finally I found Salonpas gel on the shelf at Walgreens. I'm a nurse and the long hours are taking a toll on my back and hips. I must say it works wonders. It's worth the odor, which goes away after a while. I have shared the Salonpas gel with 5 of my friends and co-workers. They all love it. Unfortunately the price has increased since I started using it. Anyway I can get coupons? Greatly recommended. Even better than steroid injections and pain pills."
