Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch, 6 Count

Great relief of shoulder %26 arm pain from diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Large enough to cut in half %26 apply to 2 parts of arm. Worn at night, good for 8-12 hours. Very effective for my pain 90% of time. Can use up to 7 days. Rested 1 day, then used another 7 days.

They are unscented. For people who cannot digest pain medication and need the rare, yet strong aid for previously-broken bones or overworked tendons, these are great. Probably not a long-term solution, and not a cure, but it will get you through a pain spurt. If you cover them, they become too potent, and can cause nausea, but I have only seen that in frail middle-aged women.

I have horrible low back pain. I was hurting one day like 8/10 pain scale. I applied one of these and it took about 1 hour and I could tell this patched helped my pain. Brought it down to a 3/10 pain scale. I would recommend and will be keeping these in stock!!!

I tried a generic version of this, promising that its comparable. Nope. Salonpas sticks better to skin, lasts longer. I've been very satisfied with its pain relief ability. If it's nerve pain this won't work BUT for back pain, its GREAT! I'm going to try on my shoulders next.

I tried these Salonpas Lidocaine Gel Patches after a hospital stay to help with soreness and bruising around an IV site. The lidocaine itself works fine, but the patch does not stick well on the arm. I actually had to use my own medical tape to keep it in place, and none is included in the box. I haven't tested it on my back or other areas yet, so it may work better elsewhere, but for arm use it just doesn't hold. Decent pain relief, but the adhesion needs improvement.

I was given these as a replacement for the Equate patches. They Cost $3 more per box and not worth it for me. I use on my lower back and when I work I sweat. These patches turn into a gooey slimy mess within minutes and stick to my clothes in nasty wads instead of on my skin. Just a waste of money for me. I wish they worked better when I sweat.

I have the hardest time getting the protective backing off these before sticking on my back. They are gooey %26 leave a residue on your hands %26 if you're lucky, they won't stick together. They also feel damp when you open them %26 not much relief from them. I will stick to the other brand from now on.

severely disappointed. i needed some lidocaine patches for my back and for my left rib area, the Doc at the hospital reccomended i use them. The ones they gave me at the hospital didnt stick well, so i came on walmart and bought these. They dont stick either! within a hour they're peeling and curling around the edges, sticking to itself instead of sticking to Me. they do help the pain some- when they manage to stay on. but i cant seem to get them to stay. and you only get a handful per box so ive wasted so many of them in the last 2 days. Im about to use some Tape and tape it on but idk if tape would stick to the material.

I did not get a lot of relief from these patches, and it was hard to get them onto my back since I had no one to do it for me. One came off during the night and stained my sheet. I had a hard time getting the stain out. I forgot to take one off once and got into the shower. It came off and was so slippery and gooey, I stepped on it and almost fell. I will not use these again.

it is so expensive the equate are so much cheaper. i will be returning the solanpas for the equate brand. When you substituted it for my equate brand the price doubled. i eosj since you substitited for another brand that you had NOT substituted it at all or aleast equal in price. i will return it to store.
