For Muscle Pain "Useless patches that you can’t get on without wrinkles in the patch or having it fold over. I like the patches my friend brings me from China. First and last time I will ever try Salonpas."

For Muscle Pain "Bad. Does not stick. Applied and starts curling before I could get to the bedroom. Waste. This was not just one time problem. Used product years ago, little holes, those stayed on. Not solid ones."

For Osteoarthritis "Worthless. No relief whatsoever. Patch rubs against clothing and ends up in a ball. No wonder there is no money back if dissatisfied. Seems like a scam!"
