For Muscle Pain "Thanksgiving morning, I tripped going into a house and bruised my back. A day later, I went to the hospital, and they recommended Salonpas patches. Bought them and put them on my back. Within a 1/2 hour, I started feeling nauseous, and my back started burning. My lips started swelling up, and I checked my heart rate on my watch, and it was 105 at resting. My tongue started to feel funny, and I had a bad taste in my mouth. I yelled for my husband to rip them off right away and took liquid Benadryl right away. EpiPen was on stand-by. The only anaphylactic shock reaction I have is to iodine, and none of the ingredients in this say anything about iodide. Not sure what caused the reaction. I’m just glad somebody was home with me."

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 Osteoarthritis "I used the patch, and because I thought it was helping reduce the pain of my tendonitis in my wrists, I continued using it. The pain in neither wrist got worse, and my palm hurt and also the fingers. A week ago, after using the Salonpas Pain Patch for over three months, my wrists have swollen, and the pain is excruciating. I went back to my doctor, but because he was not aware that I had used the patch for a long time, he thought the swelling of the wrists was due to rheumatoid arthritis. The swelling is going down gradually. I would like to add here that I am allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen. I read the label only yesterday!"
