Salonpas Hot Large, Unscented Pain Relief Patch with Capsicum, Topical Analgesic, 3 Count

This product helps me so much with my arthritis, I hope they never think of getting rid of this product, it is so helpful. I even ordered some to send to my sister who lives in Trinidad.

These patches get very hot, which I love! As a chronic pain sufferer, it has helped tremendously. But there are a few things that need to be considered before purchase. My daughter cannot tolerate these patches. They are much too hot for her. Next, your skins' needs must be considered. Leaving patches on much longer than prescribed or over usage can cause the skin to break down, much like a bed sore. Leave time between usage for the skin to breathe and recover. I use a couple of different kinds of patches to try to mitigate the effects. This works well for severe pain, but I use it sparingly. In-between, I use Lidocaine or Salonpas' Pain Relieving Patch. I have also used generic, which works as well.
