Good product, helped with soreness in ankle

Product really works and helped with the soreness in my ankle. At first I thought this would be too big to be comfortable, but it is the perfect size for relief of back pain.

Wonderful heating pad!
5
I usually use the highest temp but the lower temps are a nice option to have.  It shuts off automatically which is nice if you fall asleep with it on.  I am able to use it on my neck, back, legs, with good results.  Highly recommend!. Product is great, when you actually recieve it, due to  s shipping management.

I used it for heat on my back and feet. My Orthopedic Dr recommended these she time ago due to spinal issues I am not going to persue surgery at this tiime.  I started with a well known name brand, and it helped.  I decided to try   Basics, they are every bit as good! Highly recommend, I use them daily!.

Great for my Sickle Cell pain!
5
These have a very low amount of burn. I have Sickle Cell Disease, which causes me excruciating pain in my bones, joints, and muscles.  These are the only pain patches that penetrate deeply, stay on, and work great, for a cheap price! They are only $1 each and work 10x better than the more pricey ones.  I highly recommend these.

I used them on the sides of my neck and it really takes the edge off.  They are stretchy and flexible and easy to apply.  They come in three packs that can reseal so you can conveniently keep the packs in different locations.  The relief lasts for hours! I am very happy with this product.  These patches, under my compression sleeve, allow me to continue my work that I love.

Worth it!
5
It all depends where on the body you are using it but like all of the others I have tried the adhesive will give out if It is in a place that has a lot of motion.   Pain relief is definitely there and the only negative is the adhesion of the patch.   This is on par with all the other brands I have tried.   I used a few and put them side by side to get coverage for a larger area.

These are great!
5
Next time I am going to have to buy a larger amount though, I am going through these fast. My shoulder hurts and these take the pain away.   There is also a tiger balm that burns alot more, which takes your mind off the joint pain.   I like the adhesion patch, it feels like it does something just having it on there.   And they nailed the adhesion, it stays put, without hurting when you remove it.

5
I have had 3 bulging disc for a minimum of 12 years this patch is the only thing I have found that helps other than pillsmuch rather use these patches.  What I especially like about them compared to others, they do not rip the hair and skin off.  There are few patches that I literally cried trying to get them off.  I often use these on my neck.  Where others I cannot.  This work for 12 hours.

Helped alleviate back pain for hours.

I recommend these patches for anyone with pain anywhere external. When my back is painful, these patches are a godsend.  I anticipate that satin or high thread count cotton sheets would make the edges less likely to roll up and become dislodged from the skin.   They stop the pain and I am able to relax the muscles in my back which helps the pain to reduce and finally end.

The best heating pad
5
Also watch tv in my office and use on low heat for more warmth.  It has held up very well considering how much I use it. It is very large I use it for two things lower back and buttocks for sciatica pain.  They stick on with no issues and you can continue to be active and they will not fall off.

Feels just like the liquid Biofreeze, but without the strong smell
5
If they are to large you can cut them.  Also when I first put them on they would not stick so please use rubbing alcohol on the spot you want to put it before applying the patch so as to remove any excess oil. I love these patches.  It stays once you do that! I love that I do not have that strong of a smell with the patches.  Definitely recommend!. These patches work great on my ankle and wrist I will continue to purchase these.

You can always use more than 1 of these at a time if you need to cover a larger area or multiple areas. Absorbine plus micro patches work great! The help relieve soreness.  I love how they are small. It  gave fast relief of pain.  When I have used the larger ones it is easy for them to get ruppelled up.

did not move around and was pretty easy to remove in the morning. I put one on late evening and instantly noticed the warm sensation. I got these for my mom because she has pain with her sciatic nerve.  Definitely helped with my sore lower back.  I kept it on overnight and it was still working in the morning.

Works as well as Salonpas brand
5
We had previously used Salonpas brand gel pain patches which did not stay in place & have become more expensive. We used exclusively for low back pain.  The   basic care lidocaine patches stayed put, were lower in price & worked as well as Salonpas brand.  I noticed the level of my pain decrease.

Great pain relief that stays on
5
I am really happy they have updated packaging to include a resealed zip lock bag.  These are more expensive, but I really like how well they stay attached.  More like kensology tape them regular patches.  The quality and size of strength of pain relief is really nice as well. Review update Dec 2022  knee shape pain patch works great on knee, lower back, base of neck, top and back of shoulder.  I save these for the bigger pain jobs and really recommend!   Great pain relief patches that stay attached.  I use pain patches frequently so have experience with other patch types.  Yes these are an odd shape, but it seems to help them stay on, even areas that other patches struggle like the back of neck and lower back.  Most patches in these areas bunch up and fall off unless you prevent majority of movement.   These are long lasting feel working throughout 8hr period.  Good quantity ina box.   Only things I wish would be improved are the packaging does not reseal so I recommend a ziplock back after opening one of the 2 inner pouches so patches last longer.  Second thing there is no excess overlap on patch supporting material which makes it a littl more difficult to get off and ready to use.   If those 2 small things were fixed this would be 5 star across the board. Patch last a long time.

They work like the other 4% patches but they do not stick to your skin well.  Having them come off and roll up  they do not provide relief as long as they should.  I have had better success with Biofreeze than other brands.

Very effective targeted pain relief
5
I really like using these pain relief micro patches.  They are very easy to use and effective.  I love using them on my neck and shoulder blades which are very tense and cause me to have tension headaches.  The patches come in three plastic pouches in a sealed top.  They are easy to apply by just peeling of the plastic and placing them on the spots that need treatment.  They have a menthol scent to them but to me it is not too overpowering.  While wearing the patches they give the treated spots a bit of a warming, tingling sensation that shows me that they are deeply penetrating to target the painful spots and muscles.  They stay on nicely and gave me targeted relief for up to 12 hours.  The patches are easy to remove without any sticky residue.  Really recommend these micro patches!.  She says they really help her.

Excellent Long Term Treatment for Bone-on-Bone pain
5
That being said, after my success with Penetrx,  I recommended it to several colleagues who found the same and I also regularly purchase it for my 94 year old father who complained of the same ;Bone-on Bone; pain in his back and shoulders. I am 55 and I have had arthritis in both my thumbs for about 10 years.  I also have not needed to use my thumb splints for about 6 months now since starting to use Penetrx, so regardless of any studies, I am very satisfied with the results.   In the last couple of years It is gotten worse  confirmed by x-ray - the cartilage is gone .   The good: It smells GREAT - It is not sticky, or slick --  there is a VERY mild hint of mint and it actually leaves your skin feeling smooth and clean.  Obviously, I would love a better solutions  I am an IT guy - I type a lot including using my thumbs   I tried a lot of OTC pain medications including Arthritis cremes, Blue Emu, which BTW, I believe is a very fine muscle application, but does not touch the arthritis, and other topicals, like Tiger Balm and Cobra Venom most of which have been largely useless.   Usage - I would make it clear again that this is medicine, not magic.   Obviously, It is not magic.  It goes to work very slowly.  I find my movement range increases and the pain is significantly reduced when I grip something - the pain is not ;gone; but I am no longer wincing from it when I open a bottle or grip a tool.  Whereas you might expect a topical like something with Menthol  icy hot or the like   to work quickly I have found it takes about a week or even two to ;ramp up; with Penetrex.  That being said, once it does, It is very effective and you need less of it on a less frequent basis.  Note that studies on Arnica, a type sunflower, support It is anti inflammatory use  go look it up on google - ;arnica studies;  although there is no compelling studies to validate It is use in arthritis pain, so take this review with a grain of salt - these are personal experiences.   I have tried Penetrex at times on more ;muscular; aches and pains and actually would not recommend it for this purpose  it works too slowly and It is too expensive , but if you have got deep, chronic ;bone on bone; ache, give it a try   and give it a chance - I had recommend using an entire 2 ounce treatment over two to three weeks before making any decisions  and I suspect You will  find significant value in the treatment.  I consulted a surgeon who said I was too young for any type of surgery  hint: The only thing available is to fuse the bones -- yikes!  - he thought steroid injections would lead to further deterioration so he recommended a splinting procedure to allow the joint s to rest -  you wear thumb splints - they are uncomfortable and inconvenient, and they mobilize your thumbs - but they do help.   I did, my 94 year old Dad did and my friend whos just recovering from spinal surgery did too.  It does not replace cartilage but it seems to have anti-inflammatory properties similar to a mild dose of steroids  with none of the side-effects .   Do your own homework, then give it a try and let others know what you think.  Basically, there is something in Penetrex that just works.  Look at the star ratings here as well - as of this date, over 1600 of the 2000 ratings are 4-5 starts with the majority in the 5 star range.   Nothing except Penetrex has ever come close to touching the deep bone-on-bone pain I feel in my thumbs.  Either that is a lot of placebo talking, or these guys have figured something out.  Kind of odd, I do not have it anywhere else, but try not using your thumbs for a day and You will see the problem.   Either way, I am happy and will continue to buy the product my purposes - long term relieve of bone-on-bone pain.   I have also tried competitive preparations, including CT creme which has some of the same main ingredient   Arnica  and found them ineffective.  When inflammation is reduced it reduces your pain as well.

do not stick as well as the name brand
5
The patches stick better on the back because there is less movement.  I have had two shoulder replacements and a ACDF C4-C7 fusion and it helped me.  They help with back pain but not so much on the knees.  I have used the name brand patches and they do stick a bit better.  It depends on where the patch is put as to whether it sticks well.  Of course I was up and moving around so the patch has to contend with that. I found these to be more effective on some areas than others.

Targeted Micro Patch There are some really great things about Absorbine Jr Plus micro patches that I loved. I got this as a promotion,  I get lots of pain in the hand.  this patch is a perfect size for my hand.  I cut a strip to make it like a bandage and wrapped it around my fingers for when the pain is at the joints.  it works quickly and does not leave a strong odor.  I have also used it on my knees.  I wished that it had a more round shape for the knees.  I was pain-free for several hrs which is a plus.  will be getting more.

The stuff actually works
5
I decided to just buy bulk to having to drive around looking for them. The stuff actually worksI wish I would have known about it earlier because this is not only the first time I felt relieved from a lotion type pain medication but I did not even have to take a Motrin or narcotic to feel relief With it and I have also been prescribed narcotics in the past so I have when used to those in my past so I know exactly what It is like to be without them It is been a while on a rainy day my body has the want or need for one or some thing similar Not to mention I have a very physically and mentally straining job I lift and transfer residents at a nursing home with a CNA license while pursuing a nursing degree so it was to say the last thing I need while studying homework is sciatica pain neck and shoulder pain from my extra firm mattress that I refuse to replace because I do not have the room in my parents basement right now and every now and then I will hit my arm or leg on some thing and I rub a little bit of this on there for minors muscle strain and It is Like it completely numb the way the pain I have use lidocaine I have used icy hot I have used bio freeze I have used Aspercreme and then they have all done nothing to my type of pains But this does it for some reason and I I have had to take my Motrin 800 and I have no need or want Or a narcotic because my pain is gone of course the Cream Does not last Forever so it does need to be applied like three times daily but I I have had to apply it more than that so far which is nice but I would by far recommend less over anything else I still have a couple other ones at home I have not tried because this one has been the best so seriously if you have aches and pains from working your butt off at a job this is your stuff Not to mention I really dry skin and really sensitive skin I swear to all goodness I Can not even put a Victorias Secret lotion on my skin anymore because I do not even know why and I Can not stay out in the sun for long because my skin is so fragile now and I am Native American but that all changed because of medications that I am on For migraines and the pros outweigh the cons so the fact that it gets rid of my migraines I would never stop the medication dry skin and sensitive skin versus having migraines I am gonna stay on the medication… TMI and needless to say the scent is not too strong It is faintly beautiful a little goes a long way And it makes your skin feel healthy and hydrated.

By far the best topical pain relief spray on the market!. We have used this product for years. Just like the bio freeze gel this is a great product as well.

Very reliable for inflammation
5
My familys been hooked on Penetrex for years.  The cream has a subtly minty scent and an added moisturizer benefit, but the roll-on version absorbs quickly and works just as well for pain relief  it goes on like roll-on deodorant .  Got swollen red feet at the end of the day? Slab this on.  Injury? Put some on during the day, and for even faster benefits also apply it just before bed.  Chronic pain? It might not be able to heal you entirely, but it can help a lot with the inflammation, pain, and mobility if you use it semi-regularly, especially during flares.  This has been a very reliable formula  please never change it!  and a go-to anti-inflammatory method for me, and the company has always been very pleasant to order from  both on   and their site . I primarily used these for my hand and back and it took the edge off my back and completely  helped my hand I would purchased this again.

I love this micro size!
3
I also love using patches like this because they are discreet and do not have a noticeable scent.  These are just great to have to manage my arthritis pain and flare-ups.  So I was thrilled to try these ABSORBINE JR.  I use them on my wrist, finger joints and even my toes. Stronge smell, otherwise work great for knees. With arthritis, pain can be anywhere.  I no longer have to cut pain patches to fit a particular area.

Perfect size. Love this product, purchase a quantity of six each time.  Works very well, but, each time I have purchased this item the price has increased exponentially.  This time it has increased increased $20.  As a businessman for over forty  40  years, we have never seen an increase of these proportions ever.  $31. 25 to $51. 00 they might as well doubled the price $61. 00.  Their site indicates ;NEW LOOK SAME FORMULA ;, boy I wish my company could change just the front label and almost double the cost of goods.     Our company has m,orals and ethics.  As a real American, I am tired of the greed within our so called society.  A small increase, acceptable.     So,   I shall find another product.  Called loss of sales.

Effective for back pain

I have been suffering with back pain for past 2 weeks and nothing worked.  This one was heavenly and it lowered my back pain to a great extent and I was finally able to sleep properly.  Thank you so much.  They offer pretty good pain relief & no stinky smell like the sprays & creams do.

Huge Surprise in a Small Patch!
5
They do have a  slight medicinal odor,  but It is better than any other rub I have tried.   My body does not recover like it used to.   On top of it all, It is not greasy and your hands do not bur  from application.  These little patches pack a big punch with pain relief! They are easy to use, stick for more than twelve hours and work! The pack of 60 comes in three sealed packs.   They are fantastic!.   I was a little skeptical about these patches,  but that changed quickly. This patch provides excellent pain relief and feels cold when first applied.  The backing peels off easily.

Life Saver

Fast shipping. These patches were a life saver.  I went on a getaway with my husband and stuck one of the packs in my luggage as we frequently suffer from various aches and pains.  Well on the way to our destination i pulled a back muscle.  I put the patch on and immediately felt the heat.  I love that the patch didnt slip or unstick even when i took a shower and it stayed on my skin and continued to feel warm on my skin.  The absorbine jr.  Micro patches are a great product and i highly recommend.  I was able to enjoy my trip because of the patch.  Thanks #hometesterclub.

Great for my Sickle Cell pain!
5
I have Sickle Cell Disease, which causes me excruciating pain in my bones, joints, and muscles.  These are the only pain patches that penetrate deeply, stay on, and work great, for a cheap price! They are only $1 each and work 10x better than the more pricey ones.  I highly recommend these. Biofreeze is the best pain relief I have found for sore muscles.

Works for knee pain
5
These are much more cost effective than what I find in the store, and definitely relieved the pain in my knee so that I could fall asleep. This product works well - very well in fact! I had bone and ligament damage from a fall in December, recovery has been a long road, with persistent pain, especially at night.  As with most patches I have tried, there is a slight issue of adhesion on bear skin when getting in bed under flannel sheets.  Mind you, this issue is not unique to this brand of patch.  The price point alone makes me feel very enthusiastic, admittedly I have only used these one night… But they are definitely among the contenders Within the world of lidocaine pain patches for relieving knee pain so I can fall asleep.  I turned to pain patches because I am not a person who likes taking pills.  Definitely worth a try in my opinion! I do not use any OTC pain relievers, only pain patches.   I just looked at her.

Good balm without the bad smell
5
Then I opened it and noticed the smell is quite pleasant, not at all mediciney or overly menthol like other similarly marketed products. I have pretty bad recurring lower back issues that extend to my buttocks and hips as well.  I found relief for about 30-45 minutes after application. , but got this balm based on its excellent reviews.  I would recommend this to those suffering from lower back/sciatica type pain.  I have historically used icy hot, tiger balm, etc. I  reapplied in the morning and still feels pretty good last a little longer I think then the12 hours that it says . upon receipt I was impressed with the amount of product for the cost.

5
I have tried all kinds of back patches to play golf in, and have finally found one that I  like the most.   What is its best feature, is that it stays where you apply it, and sweat does not cause it to move.   This is what I will be buying from here on out. My daughter has been using them and she has been saying how thick they are and how much pain relief she was getting.

Pain relief that works
5
Excellent pain relief.   When I first opened pouch there was a strong scent but once I put the pad on my lower back, the smell did not linger for long.   I used the product on my lower back where I was having some pain.   After about 10 minutes there was a cool sensation and the pain started to subside and eventually was gone.   I would definitely recommend this product.

Add these knee patches to my subscribe and save
5
I was greatly impressed as also help my lower back.  The result of these knee pain patches was really good.  After putting them on my knees, patches feel very warm and comfortable.  There can be burning at times.  When that occurs I just remove the pad. I bought these for a knee injury and they work fantastic.  I have noticed that my skin is more sensitive to it after showering so I will not put it on at those times.  In my opinion, some people might be feeling a bit more burning sensation because everybodys skin reacts differently to the medicine.  I would suggest you guys stay calm, take off the pads for a few minutes, and put them back on when you feel comfortable.  Adhesion is good for 8 hours, feels soft to touch and they are flexible as l move in any direction.  I will continue to use it. It is works well with pain relief and It is thickness is obsolete.

This is on par with all the other brands I have tried. I deal with alot of abdominal pain due to Endo, PID and ovarian cysts so Im always looking for something to help reduce the pain.  I was a bit leery of the low percentage of lidocaine but to my surprise it helped a lot in reducing the pain enough where i could at least get out of bed and make myself something to eat.  I am definitely going to keep these in my arsenal of OTC pain products Ive found to help.

Change in Packaging, Too Difficult for Arthritic Hands
5
I am training for a race in 3 months. I have used Penetrex for years  for an old knee injury.   It is a good product.   However, it appears Penetrex has been taken over by another company that uses different packaging.   I had to punch through it with an ice pick.   This packaging would be impossible for someone with arthritic hands.   I gave it a 2 rating but if a customer Can not open the jar it merits a big fat 0.

I cut a strip to make it like a bandage and wrapped it around my fingers for when the pain is at the joints. I got this as a promotion,  I get lots of pain in the hand.  The strip tends to peel very slightly, but it stays in place.  I have also used it on my knees.  I wished that it had a more round shape for the knees.  this patch is a perfect size for my hand.  I was pain-free for several hrs which is a plus.  will be getting more.

IShanCare Back Pain Patch 1000x YES!
5
There was no redness on my skin after removing the patch and no residue left on my skin. I am quite stingy with 5 star reviews so if a product gets 5 stars from me it has REALLY impressed me!  This iShanCare brand back pain patch earns 100 stars, but I am limited to 5.  No smell like you often get with creams or gels.  I have used all the major brands and like them but I LOVE these.   These come packaged in a flat box with 2 foil like envelopes that are very easy to tear open neatly across the top.   Completely unnoticeable pain relief.  I find it to be a non-issue because the peel off backing is so secure that there is no loss of efficacy.  In fact, peeling the backing off was the only thing I found to be an issue.   I am thoroughly impressed and am definitely going to purchase this item again.  But after a little finesse trying to find a spot to peel, the backing it did peel off revealing the adhesive.  They are shaped differently than the usual rectangle you get with other patches but yet again, it works.  You get 24 patches.  Not like a menthol heat, but more like heat pad  or portable hand warmer pouch  type of heat.   A radiating heat.   So much so, that i reached back and touched the patch to feel if it felt hot from the outside.   12 in each pouch.  I bent over, squatted, stretched and even though it felt like it was peeling off on occasion, it stayed firmly and comfortably in place.  The radiating heat would often come and go but remained strong throughout the entire time wearing the patches.   Easily portable in an overnight bag, purse or suitcase.  I often rely on patches and topical creams and gels for pain relief instead of taking oral medication.  The envelopes are not resealable, which seems to be an issue for a lot of the people who reviewed this product.   I cannot stress enough how excited I am that I found and took a chance on this fantastic item!.   They stick well and I wore jeans after applying and even though I felt a pulling sensation, like it was pulling away from my skin, they stayed in place without any flapping loose edges.  It did not. This works quick and patch stays on no matter what you are doing.  If they had a little spot that was easy to pull apart they would be 100% perfection.   I wore one to bed and peeled it off next morning and still felt warmth, I only removed it because it was well past the 8 hr time.

I received these Absorbine micro patch deep penetrating targeted pain relief patches free from hometesters club For my honest review.  I used them the other night for my lower back pain and I could honestly say they were the perfect size, the adhesive sticks so well that I could not even rip them off the next day, the menthol smell is not too overbearing, And they worked really good at easing my pain.  Will definetly be purchasing again.  I started with a well known name brand, and it helped.

Knocks out pain. I have tried and experimented with many ointments for joint and hand pain.   I finally settled on rubbing in Penetrex plus an additional dab of Aspercreme.   I have been using this routine for over a year now.   Together, they seem to not just relieve the pain but to actually provide a degree pf anti-inflammatory healing, in that my light weight-lifting exercises limited by my joint problems have expanded.   Great combination!.

Great For Targeted Pain Relief
5
Still, you — and others — will be able to smell it, even if faintly. These Absorbine Jr.   You get three packs containing 20 individually wrapped patches, for a total of 60.   They are roughly 3 x 2, so not really micro unless you compare to other adhesive pain removers.   They do smell like the traditional topical pain reliever gels, ointments, and patches, but because they are small, You will  get less of that. I used one of the patches for my shoulder after working in my yard.  adhesive patches work almost instantly to kill pain in small areas, thanks to camphor and menthol.

If you have any swelling from your back,, ankles,, knees,, feet,, etc. I have been using Penetrex for a few years now.  give this a try.  There is no scent to freak out over.  When inflammation is reduced it reduces your pain as well.  My chiropractor told me about it and it worked so good that I have bought it for friends who now love it. .   It smoothes into your skin very easily. Did not stay on in the shower.

They work | ABSORBINE JR. Micro Back, Arthritis, Neck, Foot, and Shoulder Pain Relief Patches
3
Lots more range of motion in my shoulders and my back is not cracking as often because It is not tightening up as much.   Patches do work for about 8 hours but after I think 6 is probably when it starts to diminish in effectiveness.   I am also a hairdresser/cosmetologist and I spent lots of time on my feet with my hands raised.   Small enough to be able to scatter around but large enough that one or two on an area is all you need.   I have been using these on days when my back feels extra tight so I can just move around more freely without being as uncomfortable and they work GREAT.   I am happy with these and would recommend them to others.   I was introduced to these patches actually by my grandparents and I have to say, they are surprisingly more effective than I thought they could be.   I will likely continue to purchase them for myself as well. Effective patches that really do work for pain relief and increasing overall mobility. I love this! I ordered one using my free OTC account but it crumbled up inside the cover! I finally realized if I turned it on the heat made it easier to straighten back out This one is not pieces - It is all one piece and lays flat.

Penetrex works by keeping your pain at bay so YOU can find and fix the underlying problems
5
And there lies the problem.   There is a major emphasis on the YOU part.   Now to paint my scenario.   I was diagnosed with Patellofemoral Syndrome by two different clinics.   The pain became so unbearable that I was limited to upper body exercises for three whole months.   Usually in these cases, icing and rest would be prescribed, and since X-rays and MRI both showed no signs of abnormalities, ice and rest seemed like the only logical solution.   In my perspective, Penetrex works by keeping your pain at bay so YOU can find and fix the underlying problems.   I too was under the impression that my knee would recover in time but as the clock ticked, long car rides and extensive sittings became more and more unbearable.   After 3 months of doing nothing, I took it upon myself to find a solution and after extensive reading and tinkering and soul searching, it seems my vastus medialis  inner quadriceps muscle  was at fault.   This little fault caused a myriad of messes: My lateralis tightened up, I always felt a tug in my right hip flexor, and because of the tug, my t-spine  I am a nerd, I know  would prematurely round when I squat.   EMG results confirmed my hypothesis; my VMO would shut down as soon as I ventured beyond parallel during any sort of exercises.   Now that I am armed with this discovery, I was ready to make drastic changes.   The only drawback was the massive, excruciating pain that accompanied rehab and therapy work, even the lightest workload, such as bodyweight squat and peterson step-up.   that is when I discovered Penetrex.   The creme allowed me to progressively strengthen my VMO, without having to endure the torment. Lets get something straight from the get-go; Penetrex is a pain reliever  even said so on the label  and as a pain reliever, it works surprisingly well.   Here is another scenario: My friend who is currently suffering from a similar knee issue.   His VMO rides even higher than mine, almost 4 inches above the kneecap.   He is a long distance runner and I am a powerlifter.   Two people from two different sports, suffering from the same problem.   After convincing him to drop running for a while  athletes can be very hard-headed  and go through an extensive rehab program, his kneecap no longer slides and I bet with a little more time, the pain will disappear altogether.   Yes, I do wholeheartedly recommend Penetrex for all acute injuries  and some chronic .   I came to realize that there are a certain few customers who view Penetrex as nothing more than a glorified DMSO product, and to a certain extent, I agree with them.   However, that is not necessarily a bad thing! Pure DMSO is extremely potent and works well to ease tendinitis and other symptoms.   I myself have used DMSO but found that with multiple applications in a day, even with less potent concentration and/or mixes, it tends to eat away the skin fairly fast.   However, many customer placed too much faith in the creme as a cure-all for their disorders/diseases/pain  basing on the 3 stars reviews and lower .   Penetrex does not do this and eventually you have to ramp up the dosage  while doing rehab work, of course  to speed up the healing process.   Whether it is straight DMSO or Penetrex, like I said, YOU will have to play a huge part in the recovery stage.   Do not expect to dabble on the creme and by some miracle, your tendinitis will dissipate.   If you play golf and suffer from elbow and back pain, common sense would dictate that you take some time off and REALLY find that kink in your kinetic chain.   Common sense also tells us that golfing is a very one-sided sport, so would not it make sense to focus on a bit of weight training to strength the oblique/back muscles and biceps/triceps?  If you are a long distance runner and are suffering from knee pain, do not continue grinding your knees to dust! Stop running and find the underlying problem! Take up weightlifting to strengthen the entire posterior chain; more muscle = less force absorption on the knees when the feet hit the ground.   This review should not be viewed as me chastising or as a lecture but as me sharing one of my humble life experiences  We all have to do things that we hate and being a strength athlete who absolutely loved to squat, it was heartbreaking and a blow to my ego when I was reduced to doing peterson step-ups and body weight lunges.   If you truly love what you do, be it golfing, running, lifting, or playing competitive sports, then do everything in your power to make sure you can continuing doing what you are doing!. Works well for my arthritic pain in my neck, back and knees!.

I grew up in the 50s and my dad always had a bottle of Absorbine Jr.  handy for when he had sore muscles.  When I became a teenager and started working odd jobs, I learned first hand why he used it.  I have kept some around for most of my life am glad of it.  The patch for is a great way to apply it and it keeps working with no need to get out another cotton swab and reapply from a bottle.

Best Pain relief

I purchase this in bulk and give it to whoever complains of arthritis or pulled muscles and receive nothing but positive feedback. This product was small enough to put on my body and easy to use the smell was very pleasant and it was a very great pain relief pain went away instantly I love this so much.

Odorless Lidocaine Gel Patches Are A Welcome Relief
5
ive been a food server for over 35 years and am on my feet all day. My wife has occasional back pain.   There are 6 individually wrapped patches in a box and they are of a good size,  about the size of a large postcard .   The box I received has an expiration date of 07/2025.   These are odor free,  a plus, unlike the menthol ones .   The peel away backing has a slit in the middle so that it is easy to remove the backing halves from the center.   These work very well due to the 4% Lidocaine and should provide help for back pain relief.

Huge Surprise in a Small Patch!
5
I was a little skeptical about these patches,  but that changed quickly. I am 47 and workout almost daily.  The backing peels off easily.   They do have a  slight medicinal odor,  but It is better than any other rub I have tried.   On top of it all, It is not greasy and your hands do not bur  from application.   My body does not recover like it used to.   They are fantastic!.   What is its best feature, is that it stays where you apply it, and sweat does not cause it to move.

Absorbine Jr.  Targeted Micro Patch There are some really great things about Absorbine Jr Plus micro patches that I loved.  You get 60 small patches  but they are larger than I expected  in 3 resealable bags.  Great for taking some in your purse or gym bag.  You will immediately catch the scent of menthol, I enjoy the smell.  They are also sweat proof which is great considering I sweat like crazy while working.  Obviously these are not a cure for your pain, but they definitely help ease your pain.  And at least you are not constantly taking pain meds to function.  I used these on my lower back and my knees.  I would highly recommend these to anyone who has any aches that need extra. I  was having a gimpy left knee and was finding walking hard.

Might not work for some people
5
However, do note that it has numbing effect just as it described on the page.  The numbing effect is only temporarily and shouldnt be used too much.  If you have long term pain, this is not for you. For the price, this   branded  Lidocaine patch is half the price of the other brands, and great for general usage.   For general usage, such as pain from playing sports, this is perfect.  It allows gives a soothing effect.  These have their purpose, just not good when laying down, edpecyif you move a lot like me.

Pain was cut to minimal ache.  I pray they never stop making this product.  It is worth it trust me. .  You have to commit to the 3-4 times a day for the 1st 10-14 days. .  By day 14 when I went to put it on I realized I was putting it on an area that actually did not actually hurt like it use to.  Docotr prescribed awful pills they did not work.

Its shape is interesting but might not have any functional effect.   It is good to have it in the medicine box. It is not the best pain relief patch I have had but it is okay for minor pain.

The heating pad works great and I love that It is washable. I have had an indeterminate leg problem for six months.  there is a muscle bulging out on my calf then I am finally having an MRI on but if I put one of these patches on that muscle on my leg the pain in my entire leg pain goes away which sometimes is from my ankle to my hip on the front of my leg or the side.  The lidocaine in these makes the pain go completely away.

It really worked
5
I was amazed as my experience with patches has been fair at best.  My neighbors husband was cleaning out gutters and tweaked his shoulder, I gave him a patch to try and he had his wife call and ask where I got these patches as his shoulder felt fine.   By next morning my lower back was in so much pain spasms and Tylenol was no help.  This package of Careland Lidocaine gel patches were still on a table waiting to be put away.  It is nice to find a product that does what it claims.  It was not long before the pain subsided and did not return, spasms stopped. It just so happened these patches recently arrived the same day I was up and down a ladder hanging a 170 inch drapery rod system and the drapes. My daughter has been using them and she has been saying how thick they are and how much pain relief she was getting.   I figured may as well give one a try.

Relieve my back
5
It has no odor and will feel cold after sticking it, Slightly thicker than Salon Pas or Generic brand,. This helped relieve my back pain. Maybe it is good for muscle soreness and improves my lower back disc pain.  Thank you. What miracle hath Penetrex wrought? Having spent the better part of the past week wracked with pain so excruciating the thought crossed my mind -- not that I had ever act upon it, but I now have personal, experiential understanding of the impulse -- Somebody PLEASE put me outta my misery!  Then, my   order, including my 2oz jar of Penetrex, came this morning, right in the nick of time! As soon as I got it upstairs, I opened it, and rubbed it into the center of greatest nerve pain from my regenerating sciatic nerve, my left shin.

Good pain relief.  Easy to put on and stay on.  Very much like the prescription version as far as the patch quality.  Of course, prescription is 5%, and this is 4% but other than that, these seem the same.  These stay on and work better than most of the other brands I have tried. These patches worked for temporary relief, the only this I would recommend using a stronger adhesive to prevent the patch from rolling around.

I used this one time and was going to send it back, but I could not.  I thought, well since I have them, might as well use them.  It took about two or three patches, my pain is gone.  When I feel my knee start to hurt a little, I just put one of these on. Easy to apply, sticks well and has higher percentage of menthol for longer lasting relief.

The pain in my joints disappeared within a matter of a few minutes
5
It seemed to intensify the warmth and it got deeper into my knee. I would like to start with the fact that the patches are great, they did the job very well for me.  The pain in my joints disappeared within a matter of a few minutes of wearing this product.  I highly recommend this product to all people with arthritis pain, knee surgeries, and common or sports injuries.  They heat up very well.  I have sensitive skin so it burns a little at the beginning but it takes away the pain really fast.  I also use it on my back as well.  It is not sticky nor emits a bad smell.  I let it stay on all night and when I got up this morning, there was no pain at all.  I would recommend these patches to anyone who needs a good topical pain remedy.  I would suggest covering your knee after application.  I found if I wear loose pants, or even use a blanket, that the benefit is greater.  These patches stick and are effective for much longer than 8 hours.  Well worth the money.

Good relief patches shift around a little
5
This was my first experience with lidocaine patches I Could not afford the 5% I was prescribed so I tried these the price is amazing I really wanted to like these but I needed them for my shoulder and the just Could not stay in position.  They do not fall off but they do shift position a few cm every now and then depending where your using these it might not be a problem but since I needed them in a specific location in a narrow shoulder a slight shift turned uncomfortable I still managed to use them when lying down and not moving and they worked great provided good relief and even with the shifting I would purchase again.  If you need this I would just try it the price is great and It is really a good product just see if you can get someone to help you apply it on your body will go alot better trust me.  The smell is subtle and It is not greasy either, which honestly was just a bonus.

Best Lidocaine Patch
5
Using these patches relived almost all of my pain . I like that these patches are larger and have more medicine in them than some pharmacy brand patches.  The Basic Care patches are also more spongy / had more lidocaine  and gave me more relief than other brands.   I had been using CVS brand patches that just did not stick well, were thin and were not as large as the Basic Care patches.

A Godsend!

e. I have a condition where my connective tissue is being destroyed by my body.  I was looking for something to help me through the severe pain of pinched nerves, as I am not a fan of being incapacitated by expensive prescription drugs all the time, wasting days in emergency rooms, being in too much pain to live, nor do I like the heart and kidney problems that come from over exposure to medicines.  Around 2 years ago I got frustrated and came to   to look for help. g.   I did lots of comparison tests on all the creams I received and soon threw away all but around 1/2 a dozen of the creams.  Three of the creams worked on nerve pain about as well as Penetrex, however, I am vegetarian, and they were not.  One of the products worked just a little less well, but was in the same price range.  One of the products, the cheapest, I now get to apply to my dog, for her wobblers condition, as that product comes with a thin gel option. , for my tennis elbow, applying Penetrex to my elbow makes my brain happy because my brain rationalizes that that is where the pain is coming from, however, it does nothing to reduce the pain.  But Penetrex REALLY works!  I later found out that I have a friend with a different condition from mine that has caused her disks to degenerate.  She could barely walk from the nerve pain, and spent most of her life on super high levels of drugs that barely cut the pain.  I gave her a tub of Penetrex.  One month later I ran into her and she grabbed me and hugged me, crying.  I have to apply the cream to my neck and shoulders, as that is where the pinched nerve is.  Kinda in a scary good way  I had a friend who broke some of the bones in her foot, and did not go to the doctors until she had been walking on them for 4 months.  Lets just say that the pain was pretty bad, and the bones were very messed up.  I gave her a jar of Penetrex to help her sleep, as the doctors were still hopeful that she might not need surgery She used the Penetrex cream and was so pain free that one day she did not wash it off before going into work.  She walked on her broken foot for an entire day and felt no pain because of the Penetrex.  Lets just say that she eventually had to have the bones in her feet pinned, however, the Penetrex allowed her to sleep pain free, and recover.  When applied to my neck and shoulders, then the Penetrex cuts down on the pain from the tennis elbo.  I called her to check on her a week after she broke her leg.  She was in very bad shape as the pain had been so bad she could barely sleep all week, and the pain pills the doctor sent her home with were not helping at all.  I was able to send a jar of Penetrex to her, and soon got a phone call from her, crying and thanking me for the Penetrex, and how much help it was.  Apparently she slept for almost 2 days solid, as soon as the Penetrex cream started working.  Sadly, although it helps some with the tennis elbo pain, it is definitely not the correct product for the job, as no amount of coatings is enough to actually stop the pain.  However, after she took a shower, she realized the enormity of her mistake, as she had caused a lot of damage to her broken bone by walking on it all day.  She did not repeat that mistake again, and was very cautious about when she had the cream on ever after that.   I later gave some to a friend who was having a lot of rib pain.  He had tripped and fallen onto a small stump, where he broke 3 ribs in multiple places.    So, yes, I would and do HIGHLY recommend Penetrex.  With Penetrex, he was able to sleep pain free, and recovered quickly.   Honestly, although I do not know for certain, I am betting that Penetrex is every parents dream for kids with growing pains in their legs, too.  I will report back, if I end up sharing it with anyone in that situation.   The important things to know about applying Penetrex cream: - Apply an amount equivalent to a heavy coating of sunscreen.  I have recommended it to at least 100 people over the 2 years since I discovered it! I also recommend it to everyone as a part of your standard first aid kit.  - It takes about 20 minutes for the cream to absorb into your skin.  Wait that full amount of time before attempting to apply another coat if you want greater relief.  You can apply as many coats as needed to do the job.  - Each application, when applied after the prior layer has fully absorbed, will have a cumulative effect.  Penetrex really has been a godsend for me and so many of my friends!.  Given how much my drugs already cost me, and how much of my life I had already lost hoping for solutions, I figured that it was worth the money to try a whole bunch of the options and see what worked so I purchased almost three dozen of the top rated topical creams.  That product may have been the cheapest, but it was also the weakest of the products that actually seem to work at all.  Apparently, Penetrex was helping her so much that she was actually able to ease off a lot of her pain killers and was able to start going on daily walks; something she had not been able to do in over 20 years!  Interestingly enough, not only does Penetrex work well for muscle and nerve pain, but it cuts bone pain to nothing.  But she did remember to wash it off every morning after that one time  A different friend broke her leg in a weird spiral fracture that was not healing well and was extremely painful.  These work so much better than prescription patches.  he Could not even breath or drive because of the pain, and sleeping was not happening.  - The cream will start working immediately, but takes around 20 minutes to achieve maximum effect.   If you do not wait, applying another coating to a wet coating does not seem to actually do more good than just applying one coating  - If you apply a coating and the cream does not help much, then Penetrex is either the wrong product for the type of pain you are in, or you are not actually applying the cream at the source of your pain.  Like my friend with the broken foot, however, one day she forgot to wash the cream off her leg, and she spent the entire day blissfully puttering around the house, in no pain  forgetting to put on her removable brace/cast.

Great heating pad

This heating pad is one of if not the best one I have purchased.  In love that the padding in soft and the pad does not get all bent up, which always seems impossible to get it straightened out again. I have purchased many heating padmthe last few years.   It acted very fast!  My pain was reduced substatially in just few minutes.

As expected
2
These micro sized Absorbine JR.  patches worked as expected on my shoulder and heel.  I have always used Salonpas in the past, but those patches did not seem to stay on my skin.  Not because I have unusual skin or anything, but the patches always came off from the skin for some reason.  On the contrary, these patches stayed solid on my shoulder and legs for over 12 hours.  I even took showers with the patches on, and they were still glued to my shoulder.  I also found these patches were as effective and strong as other brand ones I have tried.  The minor pain I had on my shoulder and heels got better after a couple of days of using these.  Overall, these patches are a good solution for minor pains and aches, and the micro size is especially effective when applying to fingers, toes, heels, and knees where the bigger sized patches are not necessary. I got these for my mom because she has pain with her sciatic nerve.

A godsend for knee pain
5
Very easy to forget you have it on, which is awesome. I am a young person, just turned 30, but I am also a runner so I experience a lot of pressure and impact to my knees.  Definitely try these out if you have been looking for a non-medicated way to manage your pain!.  I usually forget I am wearing it, because of its comfort level.  I was so happy the 4% It is ones are so good! A common comment is frequently about adhesion.  Anytime I get an ache or pain in my knees, I use these patches and it subsides within a short amount of time.

I was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and have been in a crazy amount of pain.  I bought these because I think I have tried just about everything else.  These are like magic! I cut them in half to target some areas better.  I have these on auto subscribe and I will cry a million tears if these are ever discontinued.  I have not tried the other products that use menthol, but I do have a container of the cream on the way.  I really cannot recommend these enough.  If you are on the fence, just try them. Love it, wish the had bigger ones.

Can not explain how but it works - please read

And I will be glad to try and answer any questions. In June, I had a partial knee replacement removed and replaced with a total knee replacement.  Surgery went textbook except my bone had deformed around the previous knee and much of my tibia  the larger, weight-bearing bone of the leg  broke off with the old knee.  much prep work with spacers, new bone matric, etc had to be done before the new knee replacement could be evenly inserted and cemented.  My quadriceps muscle was sliced longitudinally to allow access.  For the first few days my hospital stay was great I walked, climbed stairs, had over 95 degrees range of motion.  But massive localized inflammation set in on the 3rd day and because I have had 2 major stomach surgeries, I cannot swallow NSAIDS anti inflammatory drugs like Alleve, Ibuprofen, Naproxyn, etc. , or even aspirin But my knee and legwere swollen to 44from my normal size of 19-21.  The only medication that workedat all on the extreme painqnd swelling or this inflammatory response was a dangerous IV NSAID called toradol which I couldonly receive for 3 days while in hospital or risk losing my kidney funcion The anesthesiologists had  to administer it.  I was sent home with opiod pain pills but nohing for the inflammation.  By the next morning my knee was back up to 44, hot, unable o bend, painful to try usi g my walker or cruzches.  In the next few weeks, we tried a trial ofCelebrex,prescription-only diclofenac cream, doubl doses of Curcumin.  Nothing helped.  The Orthopedic surgeon had no suggestions. Worked as directed , good for minor aches and pains .  I became so desperate that I took Alleve orally for 2 days until my gut began bleeding.  My sister convinced me to pook at over the counter creams, that there must be one that had found anvehicle to get thir product through the many skin layers which are actually designed to keep these creams out.  I agreed that if I found somthing ith at least one major ingredient for whoch there was some science, I would try it Thank the Lord, I found Penetrex cream before I gave up.  I knew that oral homeopathic doe s of Arnica worked well on bruises and the pain of broken bones.  I knew that oral Botswelia and Oral Glucosamine have shown to provide some relief but this was all in antopical cream.  And it is not cheap but I was out of options & really did not believe I would get well until I could decrease or eliminate this inflammation.  So I ordered the small size & when it arrived, I followedinstructions & massaged the appropriate amount into my knee and surrouding tissues.  Smelled good, easy to absorb.  Then I went about my reading until about 2 hours later, a strange feeling came over me & I beganchecking for what was wrong.  Then it hit me like a hurricane — my knee Was not hot, the swelling was reduced and the pain was much lighter.  I massaged in some more, and y t again after another 5 hours.  when I awoke, I got out of bed without my walker, could actually begin to see my kneecap where once was just a blob and I could walk.  At physical therapy later that day, I did the Pilates Teformer was cercises, could pedal the bicycle wheel all the time way over and had range of motion of 123 degrees.  I put on more cream cheese hen I got home & more before bed.  I slept through the night.  Today I was able to repot over a doz n pots of flowers, cook supper, bathe myself, and even started work on a new quilt.  Look this could all be coincidental.  It could be that my knee is finally beginning to heal on its own.  But I personally believe  andI am an epidemiologist married to a board-certified MD  that something  in this cream works on inflammation and lets me live a nearly normal, nearly painfree life just 3 minutes months after q complete knee replacement with partial bone replacement.  It mike make all the difference in your life like it did in mind.  My husband, an emergency physician, had no ideas.

Powerful little patch

I became so desperate that I took Alleve orally for 2 days until my gut began bleeding. I put one of these little patches on my foot that is been bothering me for awhile now.  I was not really paying attention but I noticed about a half hour later that the pain was completely gone.  These pain patches are small enough to put anywhere on your body and are as easy to apply as a bandaid.  They stick really well and do not fall off.  I got these pain patches free for review but this is my honest opinion.  I would recommend these patches to anyone who needs a good topical pain remedy.

HALF the Price!! And they WORK THE SAME!
5
If you peel off all the plastic at the same time, this patch will flop around and stick to itself. My back had been hurting for days and I put two of these on my back and the pain subsided and has not returned. 00 for a box of 5 at my drugstore.  I got a prescription and my COPAY was $10. 00!!!!!!!!!  I shopped around, and there they were only $5. 00 a box on  .  They work in exactly the same way, and are very effective.   Tip: peel off about 1/2 to 1 of the protective clear plastic, apply that part to the sore area, and then unpeel the rest of the clear plastic. I really NEEDED these, and could not afford to pay $15.

How do you spell pain relief?

Because I have bought so many other products for pain, that did not deliver.  But this product does deliver! I highly recommend this product.

Convenient and it works!

When I became a teenager and started working odd jobs, I learned first hand why he used it.  handy for when he had sore muscles.  I have kept some around for most of my life am glad of it.  The patch for is a great way to apply it and it keeps working with no need to get out another cotton swab and reapply from a bottle.  Win,win!  Highly recommended be me and my wife. My son had this and after trying it myself I decided to order my own supply of the patch and the roll-on.

I would highly recommend you buy this product!. Patches really work great! The menthol and camphor absorbs and stops pain quickly.  They and are the same size, operation, and basically same price  just over $1 each  as the Equate brand ones I normally get at , but these come to you with free shipping.  I used the patch on the tendon near my thumb.  The patch was comfortable and stayed secure.  It took almost all of my pain away quickly.  They do have a menthol smell but not at all overpowering.

The smell is strong but I found that after awhile it was not as noticable.  I was able to move around and the patch stayed in place. I really like that these patches were small and was to apply. I fell recently and injured my rib cage.

Quick Pain Relief
5
It works as I expected. Over last Sunday afternoon I worked under the bathroom sinks to replace all 3 20+ years old faucets in the house.   It took me sometime to remove the rusty nuts in order to take out the old faucets. These patches work great on my ankle and wrist I will continue to purchase these.   When I received this package of pain relief patches today  Wednesday , I opened it and put one on my shoulder immediately.   It acted very fast!  My pain was reduced substatially in just few minutes.   The pain is almost gone now unless I touch the area hard.   As a result, I started having some shoulder pain the next day  Monday.

This product is excellent! (I never write reviewsthis is my first)
5
do not have good adhesion , not very good scent to menthol , not helping with the paint. I have fibromyalgia and have had it for 20 yearsthis is the first topical that has helpedI can sleep, work, etcwithout pain.   The pain comes back  if you have widespread pain, like I do , obviously, but it truly helps day to day activity, sleep, work, etc, and I am an active person who works a lot of hours.   I would strongly suggest giving this a try.   It does not have a medicine odor, it has never stained my clothes, or Left any residueI use it before work and if needed after workI also use it when I travel overseas.   The travel size is OK for airplanes.   I have been using this product for a year.

Docotr prescribed awful pills they did not work. Doctor recommended, Pharmacist recommended!!! No pain medication was helping with my severe knee pain.  I tore up my Meniscus in right knee so bad that I Could not walk.  Then Doctor told me to buy Absorbine Ultra strength Pain patches.  In one minute I felt 80% less pain and was in instant relief.  Happy customer.  One patch took tears away.  When I feel my knee start to hurt a little, I just put one of these on.  I also use this patch for my fractured bone in right shoulder pain.

Same exact one as at CVS you can tell by the packaging just half the price literally.  I used them the other night for my lower back pain and I could honestly say they were the perfect size, the adhesive sticks so well that I could not even rip them off the next day, the menthol smell is not too overbearing, And they worked really good at easing my pain.

99 last me roughly 2 months.  Used Pain Patches with great success BEFORE Medicare would NOT cover them.  They should! These are an answer to prayer and work wonderfully.  Will not be without them, even on Vacation!!!.  96 Patches for just $18.  But the patches seemed to only smell for maybe a minute after applied & I did not notice it anymore.  They stay on as long as you do not start sweating a lot, otherwise they are just GREAT.

It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly! I will continue to buy this product! It has been a lifesaver!!!. I bought this after reading the reviews for my husband as he suffers peripheral neuropathy from diabetes in his feet and legs.  He has tried many creams, medications ect and none worked as well as this! It provides instant relief and lasts for about an hour.  If they relieve my pain.  He uses it nightly before bed and again in the morning.

I usually forget I am wearing it, because of its comfort level.  Very easy to forget you have it on, which is awesome.  They stick on with no issues and you can continue to be active and they will not fall off.  Definitely try these out if you have been looking for a non-medicated way to manage your pain!. I am a young person, just turned 30, but I am also a runner so I experience a lot of pressure and impact to my knees. I used this one time and was going to send it back, but I could not.

This item along with the Hip Brace - Sciatica Pain Relief Brace saved a life!
5
All this time my husband has practically crawled out of the truck every day, coming home and going straight to bed, he is naturally thin and over this time period lost over twenty lb.  due to loss of appetite and occasional vomiting from pain, I was actually convinced I was going to have to get a class A license myself so I could at least fill in for him a couple days a week because I knew he could not continue like this much longer and he confirmed this 21 days ago telling me he was ready to give up, he had had enough.  ago he came in from the garage and went straight to bed, he was convinced he had kidney stones again.  Mind you between all of this, he has been doing the recommended exercises, using a inversion table, using all kinds of ointments, back braces, gel cushion, hot baths, pain patches, insoles, pillow between legs while sleeping and a severe dependency on Excedrin Ex twenty plus a day.  The doctor suggested it sounded like he was having sciatica issues and thought a chiropractor or orthopedic would better serve him.  We made an immediate appointment with a chiropractor the next day, he felt great when he came home but the minute he was back driving the truck, he was in severe pain, he continued to see the chiropractor for about 6 weeks and same thing so we then decided to try acupuncture, basically the same results.  So yesterday I got on   and started looking for anything else to try, I started reading reviews  thank you   community I would never have found this without you , I was able to get it same day and I ordered this along with Penetrex Joint & Muscle Therapy and completely blown away, I called him this morning to see how he was feeling, he had been in the truck at least 3 hours already and free of pain.  Spent two weeks in bed waiting to see urologist only to be told, even the remaining stones after the last surgery were gone  thank you lemon juice and olive oil . These actually work on my knee pain, I Can not believe it, but they do. My husband drives a truck for a living and about 4 mo.

They have worked very well for me.   I have been using them on my shoulder and also my girlfriends back.   They stuck no problem while I was inactive/still but they do peel and buckle when active.   The warmth was good and consistent.   Neither of us had any negative skin reaction and I have already used three on my shoulder so far. One of the best products I have found for muscle pain relief and there is no bad smell.

5% Lidocaine prescription strength is not any better that 4% OTC strength.

Lidocaine works well to eliminate back pain.  Reduces need for oral narcotics.  do not try NASIDs.  Lidocaine does the job well.  No need for other ingredients.  The 4% lidocaine works just as well.   Some people think it stinks.

When she came to visit I put a patch on both knees for her trip home a state away = she was so excited she has bought enough so she will never run out. I am a care giver for my 91 year old Dad = He has an ache in his arm and knee.  For the rest of them is for certain aches, pickle ball torture, golf aches etc… Sincerly, Chel. S.  Two of my Aunts, Three Brothers, Three Sisters, Three Brothers-in-laws & ??? Friends all use a line of your patches: 1Aunt who is 89 loves to ride in the car but her knees always hurt from sitting.   Easy to apply and remove.  Some days they really hurt and I put a patch on and I never hear another complaint from him because about 15 to 20 minutes the patch has taken the edge off the pain.

No way!!!  I went online read about Penetrex Pain Relief and found that thousands of people are using it and reviewed it.  I discussed with family about Penetrex Pain Relief and good part was its a cream not a table.  As soon as she reached USA, she started taking rest and not coming out of her room much.  First I thought she is Jet lag.  So instead of applying spray or iodex, we ordered Penetrex Pain Relief and applied on my mothers knee for 2-4 days/twice a day/morning and night during sleep time.  I know my mother has a Knee gap for past few years now so was trying to give her space to rest and recover.  We got instant results.  Nothing was working I started taking her out in apartment for a short walks which I could sense that she is not able to do but pushing herself because I asked her to try to walk a little.  I could not see her in pain so I reached out to one of my friends mother who is a doctor in Santa Clara County Hospital  Great help .  Now I could see that mom is able to stand and walking inside the house.  Doctor  friends mother  after hearing my mothers history and what we have do not in past one month for her and the medicine my mother is taking etc.  This was a great improvement.  Hot water bottle - doctor said when there is a pain around the knee we should not use hot water we should use COLD PACK or ICE.  We continued with cream for few more days until mother felt relief in pain.   2.  Buy a comfortable STICK -> Stick will help her to walk with balance and grip.  Also continued with doctors advise with COLLAGEN tablet course for 90 days.  Get her COLLAGEN or GLUCOSAMINE tables -> you can buy these over the counter -> best place to get these are from Costco -> I started giving mother half tablet a day.  By Mid-September mother felt all right and we were happy.  After assessing that she is fine taking COLLAGEN tablet, after 1 week I started giving her one full tablet a day.  This was Kirkland COLLAGEN small tablets you get in Costco for $17 or $20.  I ordered 4 more bottles of Penetrex Pain Relief Therapy [4 Oz].   4.  While returning Home/India I gave her 3 bottles with her.  He asked me what happened to mom.  She does not require to use Penetrex Cream often but whenever she experience pain she applies it and next day better.   God bless this guy  as he shared that similar issue was there with his mother in law, when she visited them in USA.  He shared Penetrex Pain Relief you get it on   and worth trying.   Along with PENETREX Cream, I also gave her 3 bottles of Kirkland COLLAGEN, which she consulted with her doctor in India and takes it with a break of 2 months. Bought Penetrex for my mother who is 70 years old and has a history for her knee pain!!  FIRST THING I DID --> THE DAY SHE LANDED IN USA I HAVE TAKEN HER VISITOR INSURANCE  My mother travelled from India in August 2019.  As we do not want her to get depended on tables.  However with time it was getting worst.  Just want to make sure if I am missing anything or doing wrong, Any medicine which I can buy over the counter for mother OR IF I need to take mother to the urgent care as the pain was increasing day by day.  Specially at her age of 70, any medicine is not good for her health if It is for long term.  Apply ICE/COLD PACK around the knee for minimum of 15 and max of 20 minutes --> 4 to 5 times a day.   OVERALL We are happy and satisfied with Penetrex Pain Relief Therapy.  Just wanted to be sure its not having any side effects on her healthy and she is feeling all right.  Its worth spending $100 for buy the combo.  now comes PENETREX Pain Relief in picture -> one of neighbor in my apartment saw me walking with my mother and noticed that mother is having hard time and walking slow like baby steps.  I told him that mother is having a knee pain because she has gap in both her knees and now with long travel she is experiencing pain and not able to walk much.   I wish the readers well and hope this helps you and your loved ones.  It continued for 1 month and as a worried daughter was trying to figure out what is happening.   you the best.   3.   COLLAGEN will take its time to help mother to get relief with pain.   Thanks,   Buyer.   Doctor suggested nothing to worry about which gave us relief that we do not have to rush to the urgent care! [IMPORTANT] :::: THINGS WE WERE DOING WRONG -> 1. Great heating Pad.   Now we are not comfortable with trying any medicine and specially on 70 years old mother.

This is a handy tool in your toolbox to manage chronic pain.
5
Both contain arnica but penetrex has msm and ClimbOn does not.  The ClimbOn bar is available on   as well if you are interested in comparing for yourself.  I have, among my five rare diseases, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which if you are not familiar is a connective tissue/collagen disorder that primarily impacts the joints and skin  there are vascular and other involvements as well, but that is not relevant here .   Regarding the formulation choice, tub of cream vs roll on, my most recent EDS injury was to my rotator cuff and that made application difficult, even for someone with unusual flexibility.  So overall I would say the roll on  and the bar, re ClimbOn Ridiculous!  is really handy if you have any dexterity issues at all or want to be able to carry itt in your purse or briefcase or backpack and apply on the go.  They used to call us double jointed At least it used to have a fun name, like it was a parlor trick rather than a crippling disease that might leave you dead of aortic dissection.  If your top priority is getting the most product per dollar, I did not do the math with the ClimbOn but with penetrex It is usually cheapest to buy the big pots of cream, though occasionally it switches and the smaller size tubs of cream work out cheaper.   As a person with a lot of pain from various sources, I am sorry you find yourself in need of pain relief and I recommend you talk to your doctor about a multi-modal approach, especially if your pain is moderate to severe and chronic.  But there is still a role for topical pain relief in my life and of everything I have tried, the two things that truly give some relief for musculoskeletal pain  this will not help visceral pain  are Penetrex and ClimbOn brands Ridiculous! lotion bar.  There are supplements, medications, mindfulness, physical/occupational and other therapies, integrative/alternative medicine, TENS/neuromodulation and many other medical gadgets, topical concoctions, exercise and dietary changes, inpatient pain rehab clinics,.  Because of EDS, my joints are extremely prone to coming out of socket, even normal movements like bending the knees deeply or reaching behind me or holding my cellphone can cause serious injury, and there is heavy soft tissue involvement because your muscles tie themselves in knots trying to hold your joints in place or cramping to brace around injured joints.  And on and on and on.  Those of us suffering from chronic pain have a much higher risk of dying from suicide than others but it does not have to be so.  I am in pain management and take rx and otc pain meds, use a tens unit, have done more physical therapy than I care to remember, I even tried reiki.  Keep mixing up your combination of treatment modalities until you find the particular cocktail that makes your life worth living.   that is the biggest endorsement I can give anything, and I give it to penetrex: It is one part of the secret sauce that makes me want to keep going rather than give up my fight with pain.   Which is all to say, if anyone is qualified to tell you off this stuff works, I am.  I hope it will help you as well.  Tendons and ligaments get damaged, nerves are impinged It is just not a fun disease.  Prayers and best wishes. . I am a long time user of penetrex; this was my first time trying the roll-on. Does what it says! I use it every night on my injured sciatic nerve and it kills the pain, allowing me to sleep.

This patch works great! 1- adhesiveness - Once attached, I took it off to see how easy it would be to remove.  It came off but I was still able to re-apply it.  I then left it on for the 12 hours, took a shower and it still stayed on.  When I went to finally take it off, it came off easily and hurt to remove.  2 - pain relief - I used this on my wrist and back and it worked great.  The patches are smaller so you would not be able to do a big area unless you applied multiple ones.  But they are great for smaller areas, like my wrist.  It worked great! I had doubts it would last the whole 12 hours but it did. I have tried patches before without success, but this was a gr8 to target certain areas of concern.

I am really glad I purchased this for her. Came quickly and packaged well.  Does not erase complete pain but certainly puts it in its place and stays put, I would recommend anyone with foot pain give it a try.

Such a good product!
5
He tried other creams and they did not work at all! So I bought this based on reviews. I bought this for my boyfriend who is in an intensive training.  He told me that it has been doing so good for him that after a few days the knee pain is almost completely gone! I have been so relieved because I was getting worried.  I highly recommend this to anyone that is going through pain.  He said his knee was hurting him so bad! That the pain never went away.  I mean anyone.  Obviously these are not a cure for your pain, but they definitely help ease your pain.

Fantastic, easy to use, non-stinky pain relief
5
Plus Micro Patches are awesome!  They create a gentle warmth to soothe achy and tense muscles.   Do not be alarmed at the micro patch name. These Absorbine jr.   They were NOT micro!  They are about 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 and are perfect for targeting where it hurts.   They really stay in place and the smell is not overwhelming.   I definitely recommend this product and will purchase it again. I am updating this review to 5 stars because I did not realize how effective this was until I ran out and tried another spray  only because It is not  anymore.

Also for sprain ankle, wrist, carpal tunnel, trigger finger
5
You can cut it and adapt to the size you need. I have used these patches for years, not only for back or waist pain but for all kind of pain without bleeding injury like an ankle sprain, knee pain, even for a mild trigger finger or carpal tunnel syndrome and it helps a lot.  Much better than the liquid. The patches work great.

jar and very happy the company is making it in larger quantities
5
At the end of the third day, 90% of the pain in my hands was gone and I was starting to regain strength! I want whomever is reading this to know that I am not exaggerating and I was stunned when my hands started to improve so rapidly after years of trying everything I could think of to alleviate the excruciating pain in my hands.  I was at the point where I had to ask my husband to twist the top off of my mascara! I want to be clear about this because Penetrex cannot do much when inflammation is due to a food allergy.  jar over a year ago.  Yes, it helps, but I was still in terrible pain at times - and now I know it was because of eating gluten.  jar and very happy the company is making it in larger quantities.  At the time, it was hard for me to believe, but since then, I have been able to resume exercise on a much more intense level - I am currently cycling 50 - 90 miles a week.   Penetrex was a life saver for me in that it was vital to helping me get on the road to better joint health.  My back pain is incredibly improved - although I still have a bad day now and then - and I can grip the handle bars for 2-3 hours while on my bike.  THE COMBINATION OF GOING GLUTEN-FREE, USING PENETREX, STRETCHING A LOT AND INCREASING MY WATER INTAKE HAVE ALLOWED ME THE CHANCE TO RETURN TO MY NORMAL, ACTIVE AND ATHLETIC SELF.  For me, it has worked very effectively.  I am now in my early 50s and getting back into good shape - which has taken three years of figuring out how to make it work by combining exercise, vitamins, supplements and diet - and not using anti-depressents, on which I gained 40 pounds! I thought I would have to live with pain and being overweight, but I do not and neither does anyone else.  First, a detox diet and changing my eating habits, which were already very good, but did not address some food allergies.   I STILL USE PENETREX EVERY DAY TO HELP WITH THE NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE that GLUTEN caused - CHRONIC INFLAMMATION - which narrows the space in certain areas of the body where nerves, arteries, veins and capillaries have to pass.  This caused me to lose tissue in the thenar area i.   He saw how much pain I was in with my hands  I was wearing a soft brace on one at the time  and suggested that I could have inflammation due to gluten sensitivity. e.  However, I was in so much pain that I went gluten free for three days.  palm and thumb in my right hand.  But, I see improvement in my range of motion, flexibility and strength every month.  Since I started using Penetrex over a year, I have experienced great improvement in both the pain in my back and my hands and I credit Penetrex for a lot of that.  My hands actually crave it.  I cannot recommend this product enough.  Yeah, I know that sounds far fetched, but at times when they are sore, my hands need it.  Chronic inflammation is often due to food allergies, esp.  So I always have a jar or two in the house.  Now and then I have stopped using it for a few days because I was out of it. I started using Penetrex in the 20 oz.  Then it became clear that I needed it to feel better.  It has helped with my pain and I use it almost daily to reduce chronic inflammation.  I can skip a day or two - but I find everything is better when I do not.  Additionally, to be helpful, I want to mention that I am also using cold laser therapy for my carpal tunnel issues and It is incredible.  Frankly, the last thing I wanted to do was alter my diet more drastically, as I do not eat meat or processed foods, and do not care for fish.  If anyone wants more info.   But, to be clear and give complete information, my recovery has been achieved by using Penetrex in combination with several things.  on that - let me know.  I hope all of this is helpful and I wish you the best, resi5.   I resisted changing my diet for 2 years and did not really believe this until last October 2013 when I was fortunate to meet a  Doctor of Functional Medicine who happened to be subbing for my regular chiropractor.  Cheers! Edit this post | Permalink.  Now I am buying the 4 oz.   I can use them 2 days by taking them off at the end of day one and folding the sticky parts together and then use again the next day.

The heating pad works great and I love that It is washable. I bought this heating pad to use while at work. I love these patches! After a few bulging/ ruptured discs in my back, these are an amazing help.   I needed a heating pad that was big enough to go across my lower back while sitting at my desk.

Relief is just a peel & stick away
5
Without a prescription, 5% is the highest concentration you can obtain.  These work so very well for my shoulder pain.  As mentioned, I just peel the backing  It is split in the center of the patch  and apply to my shoulder in a relaxed position. Yes indeedthese have 4% lidocaine.  Thank goodness there is no menthol or peppermint odor - in fact there is no smell I can detect at all! Works well for an afternoon and gives great muscle pain relief.  I had been using tattoo numbing cream to sort of duplicate this effect but it was hard to apply and difficult to keep it on the area I was targeting.  These patches make it easy and foolproof.  Really happy to have found these! Two thumbs up!. Remember that joke with the guy covered in nicotine patches I would totally cover myself in these pain relief patches after a long grueling day.

Took pain away on old fractured back

He was amazed this actually worked for him.  He does not take any pain meds.  He fractured  his back a few years ago in a boating accident , and with the Cold weather in the mountains  he has been in and out of pain this winter A week ago he put on this patch on his lower back,  and laid down.  He said he would give this a 5 stars.  He uses different pain creams that do work well. They work really well & the xl size is great!.

My mom uses this product at night for her scoliosis back pain and she says it works great and allows her to get a good night sleep.  Of course, it will not spray upside down so she can not use it on her lumbar area by herself.  That problem was solved with the roll-on version. This is a great product, a must have for any household!  Perfect for your sore back after a long day of work, or use for immediate relief of a overused muscle for the athlete in the family.

I had 3 spine surgeries between my 20th and 30th birthday, was diagnosed with arthritis in my mid 20s and am still in constant chronic pain.  Now I have stopped most of my medication so my husband and I can try to have a baby.  This spray has been an absolute life saver and my OB said It is completely safe for me to use throughout pregnancy  obviously check with your doctor before using .  I also have terrible nerve pain in my arms and legs at night so I spray some on my hands and feet and my I feel SO much better.  I know It is a little expensive, but It is worth it.  It is not going to magically heal your injuries, but it sure helps with the the symptoms. My pain and aches are gone.

The price is good for the quality and quantity. These pain relief patches work well.  If you have ever used something like Salonpas patches, these are essentially the same idea. The patches stick well but can barely feel the pain relief.  I like to use them when I strain muscles in my neck and upper back.  You stick them on problem areas like a Band-Aid and the medicated side touching your skin creates a warming sensation that helps relieve pain.

I recommend these for sure!. I actually use the liquid form of Absorbine Jr, but had never tried the patches.  They are great for targeting small areas & a lot less messy! I have mild scoliosis, which has caused a pinched nerve under my right shoulder blade.  I used one of these right where the pinched nerve is & within a minute, I could feel the cooling sensation, which helps relax & numb away the pain.  It seems to work best if used daily and I usually forget to do so.  But the patches seemed to only smell for maybe a minute after applied & I did not notice it anymore.  I am glad I got to try these, because I prefer them over the liquid for use on the hard to reach places like my back.  The smell is not an issue for me, since I have used the liquid form & I actually like the smell.

In the middle of the night I was awaken by a dull ache in my knee.  For a few days afterward I made sure to have a patch on and the pain has subsided.  I ordered a box at the height of my pain.  I do not need the patches anymore but I will always be sure to have some on hand because as a 60 year old runner I know that I will need them again at some point. The patches work great.   The peel away backing has a slit in the middle so that it is easy to remove the backing halves from the center.  Relief came rather quickly, and after a couple of days I went to bed forgetting to put a patch on.

Superb for neck muscle aches

I love it that you can target area to place this easily .  You can find that relief is noticed within an hour to a few hours as it whittles down the pain as time goes on.  Because I have bought so many other products for pain, that did not deliver.

Nice Heating

They all say it works great. This is pretty nice for targeted heat on areas of your body  not just your back .   I used a few and put them side by side to get coverage for a larger area.

Takes edge off the back pain. I slap one of these on my lower back when go out shipping with the wife.  Sticks on well where you put it too.  I suspect that has something to do with their delivery system.

But, to be clear and give complete information, my recovery has been achieved by using Penetrex in combination with several things. I order them on here, to save money .   they are cheaper than buying one similar at the store and they work well.

Pain relief patches

not leave a residue once removed. These patches worked for temporary relief, the only this I would recommend using a stronger adhesive to prevent the patch from rolling around.

I like to keep my feet warm while watching TV and in my bed.   I also have one under my desk because my floor is tile and my feet get cold sitting all day. I have purchased several of these.   Applied to hip and within minutes it reduced the pain.

Something called pain spray can actually take away the pain?
3
If you have ever had them, you know!  I waited for the next one  I get them every now and then - not all the time . My sister was visiting a few years ago and I was complaining of my aching back.   I always had to wait the 10 or more minutes in agony for it to go away.   I just looked at her.   This time - at the onset I grabbed the Pain Spray and doused the whole calf area and just leaned into the pain.   She smiled and said, ;Just try it; .   Within seconds I could feel the pain subsiding.   And waited.   This is a gift from heaven.   It really worked!  Thinking that was probably a fluke - I mean really?  Something called ;pain spray; could actually take away the pain?  I decided to try it on my most annoying pain - night leg cramps.   That excruciating pain did not last even half the time it usually did!  Now I am a believer.   Not sure how it works, but boy is it great!  No Rx and no OTC pills for me.   I took the bottle from her and sprayed the area that hurt.   Good for painful arthritic hands, too.   She said , ;Want to try some pain spray?;.   Keep away from eyes.   No pain, I mean.   Try it -.   ;Whats Pain Spray?;, I asked skeptically.  Today I saw an orthopedic surgeon and had some fluid drained from the knee.

Long lasting
5
Super easy to use, the stick on the back is solid and should be able to hold to the skin without issue.  It does seem to shrivel some after several hours if It is in a place where you are moving around a lot but it does stay on.  Acts fast with a warming sensation that is quite nice, and is effective in reducing pain overall over the long term.  Then I opened it and noticed the smell is quite pleasant, not at all mediciney or overly menthol like other similarly marketed products.

Works as well as the prescription ones I used before having back surgery 10 years ago.
5
This product is as good for pain relief as pain pills with no side effects. Even though I had scoliosis surgery 10 years ago, I still have back spasms.  Does not erase complete pain but certainly puts it in its place and stays put, I would recommend anyone with foot pain give it a try.

A lifesaver for post race recovery
5
Bought a pack of these to prep myself after running my first 10-miler.  Woke up with awful shin splint pain and slapped on the long patch which was the perfect size to cover the length of my shin.  Definitely recommend for shin splint sufferers with or runners who deal with post-race muscle soreness.  Better than taking oral pain relievers.

Cool, even cold, pain relief that works
5
I think it is invigorating.   Some people think it stinks.  But that works better for me than heat.  I love the convenience of the spray bottle.  It does not get on my hands.  However, as with most sprays, it does not spray upside down.   Heat is targeted right to my back I sleep so much better.  It smells about like all pain gels and creams that contain menthol. I have used this product for painful muscles and fibromyalgia relief for years.   It also has a strong smell which I happen to like, but I would not necessarily go out in public with that strong of a smell.

ROLL-ON, HANDS DOWN, IS BETTER THAN THE CREAM!!!!!!!
5
But I would suggest really trying for a few days before I made that decision. Eight rods, three screws, and a plate in my back and still there are problems including another scoliosis, stenosis, arthritis and muscle spasms.  I have a torn tendon in my right ankle, neuropathy from the knee down in both legs caused by the back surgery, and two knees in need of immediate replacement.  With all of my constant pain and the ridiculous anti-opioid entanglements doctors are facing nowadays, pain is a constant bedfellow of mine.  The doctors AND pharmacists live in fear of being found with any small irregularity.  Thanks a lot to those who use opioids for getting high and for ;recreation,; that now we constant and obvious sufferers must now live with excruciating pain, and for what? I am not out of pain for one single second.  And keeping this on hand for bruises is enough to keep the product for future use if you find it does not help with what you bought it.  I cannot take NSAIDs because of a hemorrhage caused by Celebrex.  I ordered a jar of this some time back and the routine of all those separate applications and then washing my hands after each use got old quickly.  I am not one for regiments, unfortunately, and did not use it regularly.  Time went by.  I researched pain management again and found that Penetrex comes in a roll-on.  THAT is important.  Really get that ball into the swelling or painful areas.  Again though, use it at least four times a day, day after day, for best results.  I believe that not shaking it regularly may be the cause of some people saying that the roll-on does not work as well as the cream.  SHAKE IT and It is good until the last ;roll;! No, this is NOT expensive if this helps you get a bit more done around the house or helps you have less pain! The most remarkable thing this roll-on has done for me is with my right ankle.  The torn tendon  missed by an orthopedic surgeon for months and until physical therapy did no good!  leaves my ankle swollen to the size of about two to three jumbo eggs.  REALLY! By the time I was getting in bed at night with the neuropathy going crazy and my ankle hurting like a sledge hammer had hit it, sleep was more than elusive! THREE OUNCES goes really far so do not worry about what looks like a high price.  It is very reasonable for the many, many days of help you will get.  You are applying exactly where you want it and nowhere else.  I have three of these roll-ons now: one for the bathroom for after showering, one where I watch TV, and one in the kitchen.  The reduction of swelling, alone, relieves a LOT of the pain.  It was about the size of ONE jumbo egg.  WOW! The relief was awesome! I also roll this all over the tops of my feet at night to calm down the burning and aching caused by the neuropathy.  My knees are MUCH better too.  I really push the ball between my knee cap areas as much as I can and the pain diminishes within ten minutes or so and stays away pretty well until I reapply four to six hours later.  KEEP IT HANDY so there is no excuse for not using REGULARLY.  It is the sum of the total, not a hit or miss application here and there although even those help! But for swelling and inflammation, it is the regular application which will mount up on really getting into the problems caused by neuropathy and arthritis and the swelling associated with injuries or chronic problems.  I recommend the roll-on over the cream, big time! It is easy to grab and easy to apply.  My ankle attests to that! I LOVE MY PENETREX! My life has been changed and I am not constantly, constantly, constantly thinking about what is hurting, and where! My every single thought is not now about pain! My brain can now actually think about other things as I WALK more easily about the house.  This will get your pain level down several counts on a 1 to 10 scale.  The KEY is to reapply when you are supposed to, not just when the pain comes back. it is always harder to treat full-fledged pain than when it is just starting to grow.  Remember that those NSAIDs you might be depending upon for their anti-inflammation effects come with MAJOR warnings about internal bleeding.  NSAIDs kill hundreds of people each year.  I should know.  I almost died and was hospitalized for five days! I had absolutely NO warning until I passed out with small intestinal bleeding! And trying to keep the incessant search going in getting adequate pain management in todays anti-opiate use atmosphere is a battle you will not win! No one does for MANY reasons! You will most likely spend thousands upon thousands of dollars seeking relief.  Do I still need knee replacements? Oh, yeah, I do.  If you try this, and really give it an honest ;go,; I am hoping that it gives you the same help it has given me.  But using Penetrex has bought me several hours a day when I am not in excruciating pain in my back, my knees, and both legs and both feet with the surgery induced neuropathy, and my three, jumbo-sized eggs ankle! The reviews you have come upon which praise Penetrex ARE true.  I know they are if Penetrex did for them what it has done for me.  I am really glad I read them.  I know a placebo effect when I see one and have researched them.  I have tried so very many, many things for pain relief.  I believe arnica, in this product, is a well researched pain reliever, bruise healer, and swell reduction botanical.  Penetrex does NOT have a placebo effect, at least for me, but an effect when compared with similar products, actually DELIVERS relief and swelling reduction.  Pain can dominate our lives and take most of the joy out of it too! Less pain means a better and happier life!.  We could almost watch the bruising fading and the swelling go down! But it is the MIXTURE of these particular ingredients which works the best as I have tried ;straight; arnica.  I hit the top of my hand really badly this morning.  After icing it, I applied Penetrex to the broken vein area.  You know, those big veins on top of your hands? One popped! So far, this has kept the pain in check and the bruising way down.  And I mean amazingly so, considering that the vein popped! And oh, NO CREEPY hot or cold sensations anywhere you apply it!!!! GEEEEZ, I got sick of those fake-like feelings! I dreaded the fake icy cold or the fake heat of the chemicals used in that type of product.  And the odor of Penetrex is minimal and dissipates too! That is NOT so with a lot of the products I have bought in the past! You honestly have nothing to lose by trying this out.  The company wants you happy and stands by this product with a satisfaction pledge which is absolutely consumer friendly. My pain and aches are gone.  I have bought every single over the counter product available in the way of creams, ointments, and soaks.  AND remember to SHAKE the container each and every time before use to distribute the ingredients.  By twenty-four hours after my first application and applying it about three other times during that time, my ankle was NOT swollen to its usual size.  There are no trips to the sink to wash your hands.  There is probably no getting around that, unfortunately.  I first heard of arnica when a friend had necessary plastic surgery years ago on her face and her doctor recommended arnica for the bruising and swelling.  There is an enclosure which comes with your order guaranteeing your satisfaction or your money back and that is handled EASILY if that is what you decide to do.

5
As soon as I received Absorbine jr plus patches I put one on.  I was not sure it would help due my severe arthritis  in my back.  To my surprise it worked great.  It did not come off not 1 time.  Others I have used have came off easily.  I have, among my five rare diseases, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which if you are not familiar is a connective tissue/collagen disorder that primarily impacts the joints and skin  there are vascular and other involvements as well, but that is not relevant here.

My left knee was throbbing so I put two of these little patches on and waited about an hour and I was already walking better. I used this after I got home from the gym where I must have pushed myself just a little to hard.  It lasted longer than the other ones on the market.  To be honest I didnt think they made Absorbine Jr.  any more but found this and I am so glad they do make it.  They can fit in small areas on the body and you get the right amount of medicine.

Great for taking some in your purse or gym bag. Absorbine Jr.  They are also sweat proof which is great considering I sweat like crazy while working.  Obviously these are not a cure for your pain, but they definitely help ease your pain.  And at least you are not constantly taking pain meds to function.  You get 60 small patches  but they are larger than I expected  in 3 resealable bags.  I used these on my lower back and my knees.  I noticed the level of my pain decrease.  Targeted Micro Patch There are some really great things about Absorbine Jr Plus micro patches that I loved.  I would highly recommend these to anyone who has any aches that need extra.  Nothing was working I started taking her out in apartment for a short walks which I could sense that she is not able to do but pushing herself because I asked her to try to walk a little.

Also asked alot I frequently cut them in half, but use common sense! Store the unused piece with plastic backing still in place, in airtight container, and use it quickly.  Like the next day.  I was so happy the 4% It is ones are so good! A common comment is frequently about adhesion.  Realistically, NONE of them, regardless of brand, stick that well, unless you are totally immobilized, so just outline it with as little adhesive tape as possible. Helped with pain of broken ribs. I have been a chronic pain patient for many years.  You do not want to cover patch.

The only negative is with the packaging - since many patches are together in one pouch, I wish they were packaged in a Ziploc or other resealable bag. I purchased these after reading the reviews and checking prices.  I have 2 bad knees and scoliosis in my lower back.  These are a smaller size then I normally use but they are still a good size.  These work the same as the ones I usually buy.  I would definitely purchase these again over the brand I have been using.

These have their purpose, just not good when laying down, edpecyif you move a lot like me. Decent patches, I just find that if I am laying down, they do not stay in place and they bunch up which means I have to take it off.  I am going to use these for when I am up and about and use the heating pads that go in a belt that fits around my waist at night.  The pain flares up every now and then, and heat seems to be the only thing to help.  Those I can wear over night and because of the belt, they stay in place.

The cost is almost half of what I used to pay from another company.  You do have to use tape to hold the patch in place.  I cut each one in half and they fit exactly where the discomfort is in my knee.  Better than taking oral pain relievers. I use these patches on my knee, for all-day pain relief.  These pain patches are small enough to put anywhere on your body and are as easy to apply as a bandaid.

Fast working and very effective!
5
My husband also uses this for muscle aches and soreness that he tends to get from lifting weights and loves how fast and effectively it works.   It does not sting or burn your skin like other products do  I have very sensitive skin and know this from experience.  I am able to spray it directly onto areas that are hurting and It is easy to focus on areas, such as my back, lumbar region, and spine.   It feels more like a cooling sensation that tingles a bit, but somehow takes the pain away within a minute or so.  It also has a pleasant, minty scent and does not smell like an overpowering sports cream.  It absorbs quickly, therefore, does not drip off of your skin or feel greasy or oily. I suffer from chronic widespread pain due to Fibromyalgia.  I highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from occasional pain or constant pain, like myself. I got this as a promotion,  I get lots of pain in the hand.

While this may be with the same active ingredient, it does not yield the same effect at all.  A.  It is too sticky when I took the patches out of the package and removed the backing, the patch just stuck to itself.  It is not sticky enough on the body it peels very fast, and just gets to be all to annoying. I bought this as an alternative to the original product, which I have been using for a while.  I have used 2 patches so far.  Definitely will go back to the leading brand.  But this product does deliver! I highly recommend this product.

Great Pain Relief Patch
3
2 - pain relief - I used this on my wrist and back and it worked great.  The patches are smaller so you would not be able to do a big area unless you applied multiple ones.  It came off but I was still able to re-apply it.  It worked great! I had doubts it would last the whole 12 hours but it did.  When I went to finally take it off, it came off easily and hurt to remove.  Actually after I took it off, it was still hours later before the pain came back.  I then left it on for the 12 hours, took a shower and it still stayed on. I have been going to physical therapy for my shoulder and this makes me sore afterwards. This patch works great! 1- adhesiveness - Once attached, I took it off to see how easy it would be to remove.

I will get these again for everyone in the family that suffers from sprains and arthritis pain.  Just put it on the troubled spot or spots and you get quick relief for many hours.  They stay on as long as you do not start sweating a lot, otherwise they are just GREAT.  The pain flares up every now and then, and heat seems to be the only thing to help.  These are great because you can tuck them away in a bag or purse so easily.  I use mine for my hips because they have arthritis.

That was the final straw and I ended up with an MRI confirmed Partial Thickness Tear of my right ECRB tendon.   Here is a list of treatments I did how much they worked:  1 - Cortisone injections x 2 - Each time I got 3 months of great relief but the pain always returned.  2 - Acupuncture - 2 x week for 5 months - Definitely helps with strength recovery and pain management but not with final healing.  3 - Physical Therapy 2x week for 5 months - Massive gains in strength and worked great with the acupuncture but again the final healing never happened.  4 - OTC NSAIDs - Ibuprofen and Naproxen, minimal pain management benefits.  5 - Ice - Daily for 5 months - Some pain relief but not much else.  6 - Elbow Braces - 3M, Cho-Pat and Mueller - All work well in their own way and highly recommend, they help a lot but again no final healing.  7 - Heat Pad - Daily for 3 weeks - Definitely helped, especially during the winter months, but again more of a pain management, although I think it works well with this cream to help increase circulation.   After 2 months my elbow was sore and inflamed.  8 - TENS Unit - Great for pain management and again worked well with the cream.  9 - Flex Bars  rubber twisty bars, look it up  - Helped a lot at first but never fully healed the tear.  10 - Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM supplement - Started taking this same time I started using Penetrex but from what I have read it takes a while for this supplement to build up in your system.   That being said I had take it in conjunction.   and finally the most important one yet:  11 - Penetrex - Amazing.   Pain relief and for the first time in two years, after months and months of PT, acupuncture, supplements, resistance training, ice, heat, electro stim, compressions braces, etc etc etcit finally feels like it is actually healing.   Not just pain management, but HEALING!!!  For the first time in two years I can feel like the tear is ;going away; and that is only after two weeks of using this cream.   Also worthy of note, since I have had such great results from this so far after just 2 weeks that after the first week I took one week off from doing resistance training and using the TENS unit.   This past week my routine has been Naproxen twice daily, Mueller and Cho-Pat elbow braces, Glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM supplement, occasional heat pad and Penetrex.   I mention this because my New Years Resolution was to concentrate completely on healing my elbow.   I stopped playing but the pain never went away.   Part of that resolution was to use my right arm less and try to rest it as much as possible.   The result was that my left elbow start to get inflamed in the exact same area.   The only thing I have used on my left elbow has been the Penetrex and the pain has gone away completely on the left.   I know there are no such things as miracle cures and I an extremely skeptical about anything that claims to be such.   But when I saw a 4+ star rating from over 2,000 reviews I had to try.   All I can say now is I wish I had done so sooner.   Honestly for anyone who has been suffering with chronic joint or soft tissue pain/injury give this a try.   You may need to find the combination that works for you.   Right now mine is Naproxen, Penetrex, the guco/chon/msm supplement, and the Mueller elbow brace and acupuncture. Two years ago I started playing squash with some friends at the gym.   Try it.   Honestly it is the best $20 I have spent quite possibly in my whole life.   I am a believer.   I know what it is like to have chronic pain and live with it.   I play competitive 8-Ball pool and spent at least 4-5 hours a week playing.   Now I finally feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.   I wish I could give this 6 stars.   This is not a sales pitch, check out my other reviews and you will see I am just an ordinary guy. These patches worked for temporary relief, the only this I would recommend using a stronger adhesive to prevent the patch from rolling around.

A valuable and cost-effective addition to your treatment regimen
5
As anyone with RSIs know, these injuries are complex and poorly understood - it marks the beginning of an ongoing journey.  In addition to my review of Penetrex, I will share some of my journey - maybe it will help someone else.   I will get right to the point: Does Penetrex have a positive effect, and is that effect worth the money? In my opinion, yes! However, it is no magic bullet.  Penetrex is just one of many factors which can affect an injury, and while I have found it decently potent, it will not single-handidly right all wrongs in the RSI universe.  If the only change you make in life is to start using Penetrex, it is unfair to poorly rate it if trouble still remains. I have suffered from RSIs for the past 5 years, and have been using Penetrex regularly for the past 2 years as part of my attempts to treat them.  I think perhaps the abundance of rave reviews could set some people up for disappointment; the rave reviews are completely deserved in my opinion, just remember the context of the person writing it.  There are too many unpredictable factors to ensure that Penetrex will be a good fit for absolutely every person.  But I would say that your odds are good, and for just $20, it is among the cheapest experiments in treatment You will ever make.   To those who complain about a lack of pain relief from Penetrex - I actually think the focus on pain relief is somewhat misplaced.  I have always thought of Penetrex as a healing aid, and in that aspect I am very satisfied with its effectiveness.  I have noticed some immediate relief upon application, but for me the difference has been in long-term recovery.  You really do need to faithfully use it as directed to reap the maximum benefits.  I do not need so much pain relief these days, as significantly less pain is being generated to begin with - something I am very grateful for.  I do not know how exactly it works, but I am aware that it does.   For people with allergies and sensitive skin, I have read of some folks reacting negatively to this cream.  Unfortunately, nothing works for everyone.  For myself, I have generally troublesome allergies and struggle with psoriasis and eczema.  I developed contact dermatitis from using wrist braces, and can not wear them anymore.  But for all the grief my skin gives me, Penetrex has only had positive effects on me.  When in doubt, do a patch test.   I give this product 5 stars because, especially when you consider the cost of other treatments  and I am not just talking about money , Penetrex delivers great bang for the buck.  My experience with it leads me to believe that it is an inherently effective product backed by a reputable company.  As I only seem to age in one direction - older - I anticipate being a customer of theirs for quite some time.   Still struggling with RSIs though? Penetrex is a wonderful start, but most of us probably need more on top of this.  Heres a distilled list of what I have found most effective over my years of struggle.  It is these things which mean I am now healing over time instead of getting worse and worse.  Maybe some of these suggestions will help you.  I hope so! This is not medical advice, so please talk to your doctor before doing anything crazy.  Best wishes.   Alcohol - I could not believe the profound impact that even infrequent drinking had on my RSIs.  It took me a long time to realize the correlation even existed.  I have since quit drinking completely, and have improved significantly off this change alone.  The takeaway - the occasional treat may still be punishing you chronically when it comes to what you eat/drink.  Be mindful of what you put in your body!  Trigger point therapy - overuse of muscles can cause them to permanently tense up, shortening the muscles and leading to irritation of the ligaments.  Pressure is how you get the muscle fibers to release.  I have gotten profound relief from this.  There are some excellent products on   for self-massaging pressure points.  It is been a real game changer for me.   Exercising underused muscles - Releasing the tense overused muscles is just one side of the coin for me.  I also need to exercise opposing muscle groups.  For me, the best tool has been the flextend glove, which is available through their website.  Well if part of your issue truly is muscle balance, the flextend helps a LOT.  But like any exercise, you can hurt yourself using it.  You do not need to go wild with the thing to get results! Workouts will sometimes cause me some irritation in the short term  cue Penetrex , but over the long term it has been very good for me.   Frequent breaks from irritating activities: You really, really need to step away from your work frequently throughout the day.  I use the pomodoro technique - I work for 25 minutes, then break for 5  get up, move around, stretch .  Every 2 hours, It is a 20 minute break.  I use the handy program Focus Booster, which is free, to keep track of my time.  This is also a documented technique for improving productivity, so if you have a cool boss, you might be able to sell them on introducing this at your workplace!  Perfect ergonomics: If prices were bothering you before, you are really going to cry when it comes to this.  As an example, I just spent over $600 on a new chair.  that is the low end of the price spectrum you need to be looking in, if you work sitting down.  And then there is the effort aspect - it takes time to habitually develop awareness of posture.  But there is just no way around it - the best way to heal RSIs is to minimize the damage being done to begin with.   Mechanical keyboard: If you do lots of typing, having a mechanical keyboard in a standard layout is superior to having a non-mechanical keyboard in an ;ergonomic; layout.  It is very difficult to find an ;ergonomic; mechanical keyboard and they are very expensive.  I am not sure if It is really worth it to go there.  I just went with a standard layout and am very happy with it.  The Cherry Red switches are the best for RSI sufferers, and you can additionally install red  2mm  or blue  4mm  rubber O rings on the underside of keys to reduce travel distance.  Many suppliers will pre-install these for you, though   sells key cap removal tools and the O rings for cheap, if you want to go DIY.  I also recommend using a ten-keyless keyboard design unless you really use that numpad - and even then, you might consider a stand-alone numpad.  The reduced travel distance between the keyboard and mouse adds up.   Braces: While I used to swear by my wrist braces, I have grown to develop mixed feelings about them in the long run.  I personally think they are best used as a short-term aid.  they are best for when you are sleeping and during the most aggravating activities of the day, but be sure to give yourself significant ;free time; if at all possible.  If you are working with braces on, I think It is good to view them as a posture training tool more than anything else.  Ideally, you should strive to reach a point where you can maintain good position without relying on the brace to enforce it.   I hope some of this information proved useful to my fellow RSI sufferers! Good luck!!. I night another brand because these did not come in a large enough size.

Works For Me ~ Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Tendinosis
5
and Penetrex is no exception.  I love this stuff.  I have suffered with chronic pain for 33 years.  That is no exaggeration.   It all began when I was 27 and after 2 years of suffering, I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia something that was not well known by doctors back then.  I try to convince everyone I know how great it is, whatever that may be.  Then about 20 years ago I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis.  About that same time, I began experiencing soft-tissue foot pain  tendinitis & plantar fasciitis  and it has gotten worse over the years, and now it has morphed into tendinosis.  Lately, now that I am 59, I have been experiencing worsening symptoms of all these issues due to aging.   To make a long story short, I have searched for all these 33 years for something to help with all my different kinds of pain.  My docs give me pain meds, but even they do not always control my pain.  I wish I could say I have found the ;magic bullet; that would make all my pain disappear, but I can not do that.   However, I have found a few things that make my daily journey a little easier.  One of those things is Penetrex.  This stuff really does help, even if only temporarily.  It helps with fibromyalgia, it helps with osteo, and it even helps with my excruciating tendinosis foot pain.  I rub it in, and within minutes, sometimes almost immediately, my pain subsides.  I like to use it at bedtime because the pain relief  helps me sleep.   It does not last 24 hours a day, but it does last a good while.  You can use it often throughout the day.  It has no nasty smell.  I like the consistency of it, it is not too thick or too thin.  It is a tad greasy, which is my only complaint.  But when you are in a lot of pain, you can overlook some things.   Overall, I highly recommend this product to those who suffer from mild to moderate, even some severe pain.  It may not help everyone, but I was really surprised at how quickly it helped me and how effective it is on even my worst pain.  I know It is expensive, but how can you put a price tag on pain relief, even if its only temporary? I would say, try one jar and just see what happens.  Look at all the reviews, and check it out for yourself.   And trust me, I would not be wasting my time with this review if I did not mean every word I have said here.  This stuff helps me, I hope it helps you too.   This is not a cure but it has helped me deal with my knee pain.

This is not a cure but it has helped me deal with my knee pain.  I am definitely going to keep these in my arsenal of OTC pain products Ive found to help.  I wear one when I know I am going to be on my feet all day. These pain relief patches are awesome.

5
And the odor of Penetrex is minimal and dissipates too! That is NOT so with a lot of the products I have bought in the past! You honestly have nothing to lose by trying this out. I am updating this review to 5 stars because I did not realize how effective this was until I ran out and tried another spray  only because It is not  anymore .  Well, it really took away my tennis elbow pain for about 30 minutes.  I hope   will make it  again, but I am going to buy it anyway now because I I have found a spray that comes close.

Mild Relief - Menthol Smell Not Overpowering
5
While the size of the patches are a bit small for this specific injury, they are the perfect size for my knee because I can put one on each side and do not have to have a larger patch going across my knee cap.   I would reorder these and would try other sizes.  I decided to try these patches and am glad I did!  I do not usually like products that use menthol because the smell is overpowering and It is almost nauseating, but this did not have that effect.  I was skeptical but am pleased overall!. I recently hurt my shoulder and have had a throbbing that gets very annoying. Adhesion could use some improvement.  The patch seems to have a cooling effect and provides minor relief while It is on  this is not for serious injuries or intense pain relief.

These Absorbine jr.   Do not be alarmed at the micro patch name.   They were NOT micro!  They are about 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 and are perfect for targeting where it hurts.   I have used them on my lower back, the back of my neck, and even my elbow area  tendonitis .   They really stay in place and the smell is not overwhelming.   I definitely recommend this product and will purchase it again.  I like to use it at bedtime because the pain relief  helps me sleep.

My legs and back give me problems and after spraying Pain Spray the pain does go away.   I always carried it when we traveled, just in case I needed it.   It worked great.   This is the second time I have ordered this.

Very effective targeted pain relief
5
The patches come in three plastic pouches in a sealed top.  They are easy to apply by just peeling of the plastic and placing them on the spots that need treatment.  They have a menthol scent to them but to me it is not too overpowering.  I love using them on my neck and shoulder blades which are very tense and cause me to have tension headaches.  While wearing the patches they give the treated spots a bit of a warming, tingling sensation that shows me that they are deeply penetrating to target the painful spots and muscles.  They stay on nicely and gave me targeted relief for up to 12 hours. I really like using these pain relief micro patches.  It is great to have these on hand whenever I want to get relief from my painful and tense muscles.  Really recommend these micro patches!.  They are very easy to use and effective. Have serious back pain.

At first I thought this would be too big to be comfortable, but it is the perfect size for relief of back pain.  It is soft and comfortable, and the heat output is excellent  actually turned it down a notch .  I would recommend this heating pad!. I have tried patches before without success, but this was a gr8 to target certain areas of concern.

I use Penetrex for neuropathy and plantar fasciitis  feet .  It is remarkably effective on the feet and somewhat less on the thumb.  But it does help with the thumb.  I would recommend it for aches and pains, so much so that I recently added it to my subscribe and save order.

tub, and gave over half of the 2 oz.  container to my dad who broke his neck in an accident years ago and suffers from arthritis and sore muscles on a daily basis.   After a few applications, I was able to move my knee again!  It provided helpful relief which got me through to my orthopedic appointment.   Within a few applications, a ball of tight muscles hes had by his shoulder blade forever completely disappeared.  tub to a 4 oz.   I am so thankful for this product.   I have already recommended it to a handful of friends who have joint and muscle pain, and those who have tried it have already reported back that It is helping them, too.   A friend had recommended Penetrex, so I gave it a try.   I am so glad I found this stuff!  I do not know how it works, but it works extremely well.   I upgraded my 2 oz. These are amazing for back pain.

They stick well and provide some relief on my back. These work great.  They and are the same size, operation, and basically same price  just over $1 each  as the Equate brand ones I normally get at , but these come to you with free shipping.  can not beat it. I grew up in the 50s and my dad always had a bottle of Absorbine Jr.

The one true Miracle cream you NEED if you deal with inflammation.
5
I have tried copious amounts of Advil, Tylenol, and Prednisone  a prescription steroidal drug , and none of the aforementioned oral methods did much. First off, just wow.  Prednisone did help but the side effects were simply not worth it.   This is where Penetrex comes in.  Let me explain.  Let me assure you, Penetrex is one of the few instances where I look back and agree that miracle creams, is probably the best way I would describe it on recommendation myself.  It is expensive, but each  4oz  jar goes a decently long way  perhaps a 3-5 weeks of daily use in differing amounts .  The inflammation led to sciatic nerve tingle in my feet and made things worse.   What does this product actually do? It reduces inflammation, provides moderate to intense relief, and promotes healing in deep tissue/joint areas that most creams and oral drugs simply cannot reach/deal with effectively.  The cream is slightly oily at first but absorbs fully through the skin within about a minute and a half of massaging into the area and leaves no oily feel on the skin.  Unlike other creams this does everything you need it to.  This condition has been making life miserable and almost screwed my semester over from having to find ways around sitting  sitting is very uncomfortable with this condition .  It provides relief  relief definitely scales with time, the more/longer you use this, the more immediate and intense the relief  it also cuts inflammation down to levels that only prednisone could for me, and it promotes healing in the applied regions.   Everything about this product amazes me, down to the slight non-intrusive mint scent and the lack of oily residue when rubbing into the skin.   I have been suffering from Ischial Bursitis, an inflammation of the Ischial region in the deep part of the butt  between the hip and thigh.  This product has saved me TONS of pain and discomfort, in truth, I could not begin to explain the difference this cream makes.  If you have an inflammation-based condition/discomfort, this cream WILL help like no other.  When you see reviews of anything claiming to be a miracle product, It is probably a good thing to be skeptical.  At the very least, this is worth the $30-$40 to see if it works for you too.  One disclaimer I found through reading reviews and researching is that Arnica plants have allergic reactions in some people so if you have an allergy to Arnica flowers or sunflowers, you may want to tread lightly and reconsider using this product  sadly   10/10- this product does as advertised and is, in my humble opinion, a lifesaver.  Penetrex however, has blown my mind from day to next.  Try it!.  I put on this patch and it seems to help alot.

Thanks #hometesterclub . These patches were a life saver.  Well on the way to our destination i pulled a back muscle.  I put the patch on and immediately felt the heat. Could not keep patch on skin kept coming loose.  The absorbine jr.  Micro patches are a great product and i highly recommend.  I was able to enjoy my trip because of the patch.  I love that the patch didnt slip or unstick even when i took a shower and it stayed on my skin and continued to feel warm on my skin.

Works as advertised
5
While it is very long lasting, I have found it to last about 6-8 hours on some painful conditions. I found that this adhered much better than even some of the prescription pain relief pads.   I always had to wait the 10 or more minutes in agony for it to go away.  Contains the 4% Lidocaine and is great relief for burns, shingles, any type of skin type condition that is extremely painful.

When I put it on my hands, it Does not burn or hurt.  After I used it for a while, my joints feel as good as new.  I have used many different products but nothing works as well as this. I like these smaller patches that make it easy to apply on yourself.

Penetrex is a game changer!
5
Look at me siting down, getting up, walking, going up & down the stairs  like I have the knees of a 20-year old!. About 2 years ago, my knees started to bother me.   Whenever I sat down, stood up, or walked, especially after being still, my knees were stiff and painful  both sharp stabbing pain & dull pain .   Stiffness and pain got better as I moved but neither went away completely.   Thankfully, the doctor did not find any specific cause such as arthritis.  Recently recovering from severly bruised ribs  almost 1 mo.   Both the stiffness and pain got worse this year.   Add to that when I go up or down stairs--of which I have 3 sets in my house--more stiffness and pain.   Especially going down stairs, I make sure to grasp the arm rail tightly because I was not sure when the stiffness and pain would worsen, and did not want to take a tumble down the stairs.   On friends recommendations, I bought 2 other pain relieving creams, 1 of which was formerly only available by prescription; neither worked, not even a little bit.   Penetrex showed up on   as a best-seller.   I thought what the hell, lets try it.  I chose the roll-on over the cream in a jar b/c I thought the roll-on would be easier to apply and to carry around.   Within 2 days of using Penetrex, I can feel the difference, less stiffness and less pain.   By day 5, both the stiffness and pain were 75% gone.   By day 7--today--I signed up for auto-delivery because I was not going to be without Penetrex.   This product is not cheap, especially since I went through most of the 3 oz.  roll-on during the first week  you have to apply 3-4 times a day for the first 7-10 days .   But, for me, it is worth every penny because it is effective.   It is a game changer.   Just part of getting older.

These Patches Really Work
3
Absorbine jr micro patch is a great product for aches and pains.  These small 60ct medicated patches are able to be put on smaller areas.  The menthol and camphor really absorbs and stops the pain quickly.  It was nice being able to get relief without having to goop up my hands. These work so well for the back!.

5
Great!!! When you use these patches they stay on!  Lidocaine patches use to be made with this material and they worked great, but some educated cost effective person decided it cost too much to be made with this material.   They changed the material and now you are lucky if they stay on a few hours little alone 8hours as they are suppose to be on.   Thank you absorbine for making a quality patch with pain medication. These patches adhere & stay on well.

Greatly Reduces Swelling and Pain
5
96 Patches for just $18. I have arthritis in my knee and some days there is major swelling.   I can wear these patches all day  8-10hours  and the edges do curl up like some other reviews have stated, but I did not find that to be very detrimental.   I have very sensitive skin and have had no issues with these patches.   The chili listed in the ingredients does feel slightly warm, but nothing like the horrible menthol patches.

There is also a tiger balm that burns alot more, which takes your mind off the joint pain. I get muscle pains after running or cycling for extended times.  These pains usually keep me from having a good night sleep.  This cream relieves those pains no problem.

Will definetly be purchasing again. I received these Absorbine micro patch deep penetrating targeted pain relief patches free from hometesters club For my honest review.  It has a great cooling affect that then warms to offer comfort.  I used them the other night for my lower back pain and I could honestly say they were the perfect size, the adhesive sticks so well that I could not even rip them off the next day, the menthol smell is not too overbearing, And they worked really good at easing my pain.

Pain relief that works

I used the product on my lower back where I was having some pain.   I would definitely recommend this product.   When I first opened pouch there was a strong scent but once I put the pad on my lower back, the smell did not linger for long. They work well for my Fathers shoulder pain. I like the size of the pads, it was easy to apply and stayed on until I took it off and came off easy.

Very convenient and easy to use.   The adhesive backing sticks very well and stays in place. Awesome pain reliever.   Great menthol smell and great size for different pain spots.  I can not recommend this thing enough, he made me promise to write a review hoping it might help someone else, I hope it does!******************all the way! I think I will even order one for myself as I have been suffering from sciatica issues myself off and on now for at least 5 yr myself, I am a believer! I am lazy, I copied this from the review about the brace but the combination of the two completely turned things around, I do want to add that my husband has had terrible pain in his hands for years, his fingers are actually bending and twisting from degenerative bone loss? When my husband put the cream on his back this morning, he also rubbed the cream into his hands and he said he was without pain in his hands for over 5 hours, looks like we will never be without this stuff ever again.

These small 60ct medicated patches are able to be put on smaller areas. I am training for a race in 3 months.  My heel hurts to the point where when I step down I am in pain, oh and Can not forget my knee hurts too.   I searched pain relief on   because, why not.   I seen the amount of reviews and had to give this cream a try.  Apply cream-50% relief, like a definite noticeable difference within minutes .  wait about 10-15 more minutes and the pain in my heel is gone.  I can walk.  I was able to get my run done.  No more knee pain either.   I am so incredibly thankful I found this.  Thank you.

I can use them 2 days by taking them off at the end of day one and folding the sticky parts together and then use again the next day.   I wear long pants so I have to tape the ends to keep my pants legs from rolling them.   Really helps. I am used for my back every night. I cut them in 4 pieces and put a piece on each side of my knees.

VERY EFFECTIVE
5
HIGHLY recommended. These do have a bit of a menthol scent to them but not enough that it would be noticeable when wearing them in the public.  They adhere to the skin very well and do not hurt too badly when removing them.  I wore mine for a full 8 hours and had no problems. The tingly medicated feeling, relieves pain and adheres in place.  I like how wide they are as I am fairly small and they covered most of my lower back.  You can feel the tingle within about 15 minutes when the medicine begins to set in.  I usually deal with my back problems at night while sleeping and these helped me to get a good nights sleep.

Relieves burning neuropathy pain temporarily
5
Helps cool the burning neuropathy on my lower legs and feet.   Light cream, very expensive for amount you get, so I use it sparingly, and a little goes a long way.   Does not last forever, so I need to reapply when the pain gets intolerable again, which varies for me.   I like this better than Blu Emu for my issues.   .    I got more for the money!.  Targeted Micro Patch There are some really great things about Absorbine Jr Plus micro patches that I loved.

Over last Sunday afternoon I worked under the bathroom sinks to replace all 3 20+ years old faucets in the house. I deeply like this product.  I have had two shoulder replacements and a ACDF C4-C7 fusion and it helped me.  To be honest I have only used it one day but that night I slept straight through for the first time in weeks perhaps months.  But if it stops working for me in the near future I still would not regret buying it.  A good nights sleep was worth it.  I pray itll continue too work for me.

The BEST muscle cream I have ever used.
5
But, within 30 minutes the pain was minimized I would raise my arm with at least 75% better range of motion in my shoulder. I bought this after doing a Google search of the best non-prescription muscle cream.   So far, so good.  As an athlete,  I always thought the worse the smell the better the product, so I was a little skeptical when this was like a lotion.   I was in so much pain that day and the product I was using was not helping at all.

What Miracle Hath Penetrex Wrought?
5
I tried the micro patches and was pleasantly surprise that they work really well. What miracle hath Penetrex wrought? Having spent the better part of the past week wracked with pain so excruciating the thought crossed my mind -- not that I had ever act upon it, but I now have personal, experiential understanding of the impulse -- Somebody PLEASE put me outta my misery!  Then, my   order, including my 2oz jar of Penetrex, came this morning, right in the nick of time! As soon as I got it upstairs, I opened it, and rubbed it into the center of greatest nerve pain from my regenerating sciatic nerve, my left shin.    6 years ago I was almost run over by a reckless underinsured driver.  Due, I suspect, to continued pressure from massive hematomas in that leg, my left sciatic nerve -- the big nerve that starts in the small of you back, cuts across your buttock, branches off in your groin, and down both sides of your leg, innervating your muscles and joints, all the way down to your toes -- had much of It is function literally crushed, thus limiting the function of my left leg.  Since I have recently been concerned that the muscles of my left leg are STILL considerably smaller than those of my right -- AND, I could barely move my toes at all, much less move my big toe separately from the others -- I had been intensely working my left leg, foot, and toes.    Gradually, I saw results; even my bunion appeared to be straightening.  Even the arch of my left began rebuilding itself! Then, last weekend my left sciatic nerve started acting up.  I thought is was just a a garden variety sciatic attack.  But as time progressed, the pain went down my leg on both sides, eventually along the entire length of my left sciatic nerve.  The pain pulsed, moved, and twitched -- first in spasms, then in waves.  Since my 6 years of rebuilding and rewiring my body has left me keenly aware of my internal goings on, I KNEW it was my left sciatic nerve regenerating itself.  And it was so intense, I suspect the only worse pain would be labor pain, or extreme burns, like the time my foot was scalded by hot bacon grease.    As soon as I rubbed the Penetrex into the outside of my left calf, my mind cleared as the pain drained from that area of my leg.  I immediately rubbed it everywhere my left leg and buttock hurt.  The pain drained away, as if by magic! This stuff is as good as, if not better than prescription Voltarin!  I felt SO good, I went grocery shopping, which had been needed for daze; but my pain had procluded -- expecting I had need to collapse into a hot salt bath as soon as I got home.  But not so fast! Not only was I able to put all my groceries away as soon as I returned, 2 and a half hours later, my pain is still subsided!  I have tried other similar products over the years -- some with even longer lists of homeopathic, herbal, and essential oil ingredients -- but THIS IS IT, the Holy Grail of Topical Pain Relief.  No wonder they call it Penetrex! Merci beaucoup, Penetrex! I will love you forever!.

Glycol.   PENETREX: No strong smell.   Inactive Ingredients  Original Version : Camphor  for scent , carbomer, FD&C blue #1, FD&C yellow #5, Glycerine, Herbal Extract  ILEX Paraguariensis , Isopropyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Silicon Dioxide, Triethanolamine, Water, Vitamin E, Glycerin.   SOMBRA: Note: List updated.  It has a soft peppermint oil scent.   Active Ingredients: Menthol 3. 0%, Camphor 3.   ***TEXTURE & ABSORPTION***  SOMBRA: The texture is creamy and fast absorbing.   ================  ***INGREDIENTS***  SOMBRA is made of natural ingredients, no harmful parabens or artificial colors.   BIOFREEZE now has more menthol but also artificial colors  Original .  It is really good for a light rub or massage, not a deep massage  youd need an ointment or vaseline-based rub .  They recently removed parabens from the formula and added Vitamin E.  Highlights: Boswellia, Arnica, Lemon Balm.  I use it on my back because It is the only one that I do not have to use either too much  Biofreeze  or too little  Penetrex, due to its cost  to get a light massage.  No longer contains parabens.   ***PAIN RELIEF***  I am happy to say all of them do what they should: relieve pain.   SOMBRA is supposed to give you a warming sensation, but it feels like It is just the menthol and camphor doing their job and that is a cold tingling sensation, not what I would call warm.   BIOFREEZE: The original formula is a green colored gel; does not stain clothing but it may stain certain types of fabric & carpets since it does have artificial colors.  It is a bit overwhelming at times, I use it on my shoulders and if I ever get it on my neck or the top of my shoulders my eyes will water for hours.  It is REALLY strong.  The colorless version does not have that problem.  **Note that there is multiple studies on Capsaicin and its effect on neuropathic pain.  Do give Sombra a try if you suffer from neuropathy.  It is absorbed really fast so It is not good for massaging but really good if you just want pain relief and do not want to have to massage the area for it to get absorbed.  You may need to reapply more often than Sombra.  Perfect for your back, arms and shoulders, do not get it anywhere close to your mouth/eyes/nose  unless you want to clear up your sinuses   PENETREX does not have any fancy warming or cooling effects but the relief is also almost immediate.   PENETREX: Creamy light texture, not greasy, does not stain, no stains on my mouse/keyboard when I use it on my hands.  Not overwhelming at all so you can use it freely on your neck and clavicle if you have TOS.   ***SCENT***  SOMBRA: Has a citrus & menthol scent, It is really strong and the capsaicin makes it hard to remove the smell from your hands so I do not recommend using it for arthritis or carpal tunnel.  Fast absorption but it gives you enough time to lightly massage the area before it goes to work under your skin.   List of INGREDIENTS as of January 2016  PENETREX: Note: The ingredients list has been updated.   The new formula has 4% natural menthol and a number of botanical ingredients including Arnica Montana Flower Extract  Arnica , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract  Aloe , Boswellia Carterii Resin Extract  Boswellia , Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract  Calendula , Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract  Green Tea , Arctium Lappa Root Extract  Burdock , Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract  Lemon Balm .  Sombra no longer contains Silica.   ***VALUE/COST***  I bought a 32oz Sombra, 2 x 4oz Biofreeze & 1 x 2oz Penetrex  Best value for your money? Probably Sombra for large areas; legs, back.  there is also a colorless version without dyes or propylene glycol, make sure It is labeled as ;Colorless;.   PENETREX has B6, Boswellia, MSM, Glucosamine, making it better for people with carpal tunnel and arthritis.  Biofreeze for arms, shoulders and medium-small areas.  Good on back, arms, legs, anywhere that is not remotely close to your eyes.   BIOFREEZEs effect is pretty much immediate, it feels really cold, not as overwhelming as Sombra but it does not seem to last as long.  Penetrex for really small areas like your hands and the back of your neck.  I bought the best selling products in the pain relief category along with cold pads, warm pads, computer gloves, a traction device + pillow, and supplements; each of them carefully researched. 0%  Inactive Ingredients: Aloe Vera Extract, Carbomer, Capsaicin, Decyl Plyglucose, Deionized Water, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Green Tea Extract, Orange Peel Extract, Queen of the Prairie Extract, Rose Water, Sodium Hydroxymethyl Glycinate, Vegetable Glycerin, Witch Hazel, Yucca Extract.  You gotta find what works for you.  Use it at night on your hands and wake up without pain.  It takes a few minutes to get some relief but it lasts for hours.

like knee. Great adhesion and effective. .  Be forewarned, if you get really sweaty it might slip or curl up.

This stuff really works
5
This product works so good, I have been purchasing them and present as gifts to several people that I know are suffering with aches and pain. I was somewhat skeptical of some roll-on actually relieving pain without some form of medication or CBD.  This was a very pleasant surprise thank God.  I have bought a few more since and I have one always near me in case my shoulders start to hurt again.  I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from pain or soreness.

My shoulder was quite painful, so I ordered the Penetrex Joint & Muscle Therapy and it started helping my pain quickly. The adhesion crinkled up a little bit, but it did not come off my knees or shoulders.  Overall your product is the best patches that I have ever purchased! I am a Military Veteran, with bad knees, shoulders, and a injured back.  I am ordering your foot cream for neuropathy, unfortunately I am a diabetic.  I am hoping that your cream will help me with my foot pain! Thx Gary Ortiz Jr.

Excellent for muscle pain relief
3
We tried massaging the places without this for over a week to no relief.  3-4 days after using this product 3-4 times a day with massage and I finally got some relief! Slept good too! We are going to keep a bottle of this in our home from now on.  Desperate, I got on here and ordered this.  The smell is subtle and It is not greasy either, which honestly was just a bonus.  Love this product. I had surgery October 18th and due to medical negligence I ended up with some of the worst pulled/knotted up muscles in my upper thighs.  I had been using tattoo numbing cream to sort of duplicate this effect but it was hard to apply and difficult to keep it on the area I was targeting.

Strong, Natural Pain Relief
5
It is very strong! It does have a similar burning feel to Icy Hot so it may be a little uncomfortable on sensitive skin.  The only negative is with the packaging - since many patches are together in one pouch, I wish they were packaged in a Ziploc or other resealable bag.  They are very conveniently shaped for application to the back.  At first, I was not sure these were doing anything.  roll-on during the first week  you have to apply 3-4 times a day for the first 7-10 days . This package is a great value with 24 pain relief patches.

Many manufacturers and sellers have a tendency to overstate the benefits.  However, that is not the case this time because this product really worked for me. I really like this product.  I have to give it my highest recommendation. works good.

I love using them on my neck and shoulder blades which are very tense and cause me to have tension headaches. It is a little hard to get used to! But later I liked it.

works as well as the higher priced products
5
The stuff actually worksI wish I would have known about it earlier because this is not only the first time I felt relieved from a lotion type pain medication but I did not even have to take a Motrin or narcotic to feel relief With it and I have also been prescribed narcotics in the past so I have when used to those in my past so I know exactly what It is like to be without them It is been a while on a rainy day my body has the want or need for one or some thing similar Not to mention I have a very physically and mentally straining job I lift and transfer residents at a nursing home with a CNA license while pursuing a nursing degree so it was to say the last thing I need while studying homework is sciatica pain neck and shoulder pain from my extra firm mattress that I refuse to replace because I do not have the room in my parents basement right now and every now and then I will hit my arm or leg on some thing and I rub a little bit of this on there for minors muscle strain and It is Like it completely numb the way the pain I have use lidocaine I have used icy hot I have used bio freeze I have used Aspercreme and then they have all done nothing to my type of pains But this does it for some reason and I I have had to take my Motrin 800 and I have no need or want Or a narcotic because my pain is gone of course the Cream Does not last Forever so it does need to be applied like three times daily but I I have had to apply it more than that so far which is nice but I would by far recommend less over anything else I still have a couple other ones at home I have not tried because this one has been the best so seriously if you have aches and pains from working your butt off at a job this is your stuff Not to mention I really dry skin and really sensitive skin I swear to all goodness I Can not even put a Victorias Secret lotion on my skin anymore because I do not even know why and I Can not stay out in the sun for long because my skin is so fragile now and I am Native American but that all changed because of medications that I am on For migraines and the pros outweigh the cons so the fact that it gets rid of my migraines I would never stop the medication dry skin and sensitive skin versus having migraines I am gonna stay on the medication… TMI and needless to say the scent is not too strong It is faintly beautiful a little goes a long way And it makes your skin feel healthy and hydrated. works as well as the high priced ones.

This product is as good for pain relief as pain pills with no side effects. I have tried patches before without success, but this was a gr8 to target certain areas of concern.

Price great. My husband uses this product, he is a commercial floor installer and has had surgery on his shoulder.  My husband uses this religiously after working many days in a row and he said there is nothing else that helps him quite a well as the Penetrex.  I find it to be a bit expensive so when I see it on sale on   I try to grab a couple containers.

Knee and back relief

Within minute it takes the pain awayIf I=used at night I wake up the pain is almost gone.  I have used the V cream and patches .  .  .  little if any relief.   Then I got a new titanium knee.   This cream helps my knee and back so much, and very quickly.   Along with PT and exercises, Penetrex has gotten this senior moving again!.

Pain relief beyond 12 hours

did not move around and was pretty easy to remove in the morning. The adhesive patches adhere well to the skin & allow for flexibility when bending & stooping.  My knees are less inflamed.  Wonderful product.

Absorbine Jr. Targeted Micro Patch
5
Absorbine Jr.  Pain Relieving Targeting Micro Patch is small but packs a powerful punch with 7% menthol and 7% camphor.  It is supposed to provide pain relief, but it also provides itch relief.  The patch is non-greasy, non-messy, medicated patch with soft, flexible material that will not stain and can be worn discreetly under clothing.  You can cut it and adapt to the size you need.

Easy to use. Produces a nice, warm, tingly sensation.
5
Whether it works to relieve the source of the pain or just distract from it, they seem to help.  I use them on my tight shoulder muscle.  They do not make the pain go away permanently, but they do help to manage it and provide relief.  I am quite happy with these. This product works really well.

I love this! I ordered one using my free OTC account but it crumbled up inside the cover! I finally realized if I turned it on the heat made it easier to straighten back out This one is not pieces - It is all one piece and lays flat. She said it works well.  We were both surprised.

These Patches Really Work
5
They should! These are an answer to prayer and work wonderfully. Absorbine jr micro patch is a great product for aches and pains.  These small 60ct medicated patches are able to be put on smaller areas.  I used it on my neck and lower back.  It was nice being able to get relief without having to goop up my hands.

60 count box

The scent is strong but once I applied the patches I did not notice the smell at all. I suffer from planters fascia and I thought that I would try them on my heel and see how it would help, not expecting it to but I was very surprised that it really did make a difference. I  reapplied in the morning and still feels pretty good last a little longer I think then the12 hours that it says . I am anxious to try the larger ones on my shoulder and back .  Realistically, NONE of them, regardless of brand, stick that well, unless you are totally immobilized, so just outline it with as little adhesive tape as possible.

It has a great cooling affect that then warms to offer comfort. I like the size of the patches.  The relief really does last for hours!.  They can fit in small areas on the body and you get the right amount of medicine. I absolutely love these patches!! They cut back pain in half and I can actually move around.

Relieves pain while actively working
3
But It is not overpowering or mediciney. My knee pain was becoming so bad that I actually saw a surgeon.  It just does what it says It is going to do. , with an end result being equal pain and impaired mobility.  The best thing about it for me is that I can put it on and actively work and not feel pain while working in a fast-paced stand on your feet all day frontline industry.  Overall, I like it.  This product has all natural ingredients and really has a tingle and a nice herbal scent to it.  I just could not go through with surgery only to have pain after surgery, rehab, etc. At first I thought this would be too big to be comfortable, but it is the perfect size for relief of back pain.  I even recommended it when family members have aches, pains and muscle soreness rather than going straight to pain relief pills.
