For Osteoarthritis "Had a kink in my neck for weeks and OTC pain relievers were not making a dent. Tried Salonpas and they worked the very first time. Very impressed with how quickly the pain/discomfort was reduced, for the most part eliminated. For the price, to me they are the best value out there for nagging pain and discomfort. Someone did mention that they need to be applied to the muscle(s) in the target area, and not on or too near any bone(s). I did have two times I tried them on my knee and there was not much improvement. On my neck above the spine (thoracic?) I put one on the meaty area between that and the back of my head and it is amazing."

For Muscle Pain "Horrible! I used these patches for a few years and love them. Now with the new gel design they are a waste of your money , once you move they begin to roll off, its difficult to keep one on your body. I wish they had never changed the designto Gel Patches. I CAN no longer support this product and advise everyone not waste their money. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PATCHES..listen to your customers.!!!!"

For Muscle Pain "I tried the patch for a sore muscle in my shoulder. It was hard to put on and the end curled up. It didn't warm up very much and gave no pain relief whatsoever. Not worth the money I paid for them. Won't ever buy it again."
