For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I was having knee pain, so I bought the cream and a patch. I rubbed the cream, and 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 doctor. This over-the-counter cream is dangerous."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "Stuck on Salonpas on my strained ankle, and within a few hours, had a patch of red rashes with blisters. One week later, the whole patch became scaly and thick with countless blisters that broke and crusted. This is some dangerous medicated plaster. I never had an allergy that bad!"

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."
