Icy Hot Max Strength Lidocaine Plus Menthol Pain Relief Patches for Back or Large Area (5 Count)

This is one of the weakest hot patches of ice. They did nothing to ease the pain I felt in my upper back/shoulder after pulling a muscle. I find the patch to be very soft and gummy it does not adhere well to my skin. Those feelings aren't present either, nor is there much of an icy-hot effect. In the same way, I was left with a sense of nothingness after I put a patch on a part of my body that wasn't injured. It was a disappointment. Buying is not a good idea.

Having a torn rotator cuff causes me to have cumulative pain, and these cushions have been helpful for me. Make sure you give them some consistent use for a few days. For my needs, they are large enough to be cut in half. My doctor wrote me a script for the 5% strength patches (and my insurance covers them), so I will be using those from now on. On Amazon I purchased about ten boxes of these IcyHot lidocaine patches, but I was very happy with them for OTC relief. The backing of some of them can be difficult to peel off your skin and they tend to stay stuck. That's not the case for me. A thin neoprene material is used as the patch There is a moderate amount of stretch in the fabric. Keeping the patch from sticking to itself can be accomplished by carefully peeling off the backing. If you apply it, make sure it feels smooth on your skin and that it's not too thick The easiest way to avoid wrinkles is to keep the skin taught. It will still be there after 12 hours if you smooth and press it a few seconds to get good contact Ideally, these should be 12 hours on and 12 hours After my first attempt, I couldn't sleep at night because I would toss and turn a lot They did loosen and bunch up when they turned. Therefore, now I will submit my application in the AM instead of the PM.

My experience as a user of many different pain patches ranks these lower than most. Their first shortcoming is their inability to stick to surfaces. In fact they easily peel off when Neither the medication nor the side effects have been good. There are some decent products made by Ice Hot, but this is not There seems to be no relief provided by the patch, I'm sorry to report.

My lower back is hurting, so I bought this product to help alleviate it. Neither the patches stick to me nor do they stick to the wall. A lot of it falls off right away. I did not receive any relief from this item because of the adhesive. Taking the time to package it back up for a return wouldn't have been worth it, so it was thrown away. Sorry to hear that.

There was almost no value in these! I don't believe they will last for more than a few hours on my skin. As I walked away, I sensed a cold sensation pouring down my back from the first time I put one on my upper This is icky! My only experience with the patch was that sensation. On my lower back, I was able to stick one patch. not even a hint of pain relief to be found. I felt cold for about 10 seconds until my body temperature warmed There you go! It was impossible to undo my last pad, which folded in on itself. This is the last time I'm spending money on them.

A notable advantage of the lidocaine was the fact that it felt a lot cooler than ICY HOT. When it comes to back pains and minor injuries, it is very effective, but if you have suffered a major problem with your muscles, you should see a doctor right away. Two of these were used after I went to the ER with multiple major back knots and spasms and they didn't feel effective and didn't relieve the pain. "Cooling" actually makes the knots even worse by making them harder and more painful. Your pain level is 7 or higher if you have a serious condition In the event that you get a 10 on the hospital scale, you will need to go to the doctor, urgent care, or ER. Your pain should be below a 7 once you are on the road to recovery, then you can use them to some benefit, but be sure to use heat when needed on your muscles. Heating the blood vessels will allow circulation and open them up, which is why you need heat - not Other than that, these are very good and add an extra kick to the usual cup of hot tea. There is a cold patch on my back.

This is the product for you if you enjoy the menthol. One of the only issues I've run into is that the tape doesn't stick well in places where the body moves a lot or when you have a lot of hair. The tiny hairs underneath the hair line on the back of my neck would make them not stick because of the tiny hairs that are on the back of our necks. have also noticed that after a while, the skin around my shoulder blade starts to peel away. Unfortunately, I can't imagine there is anything that can be done to resolve that situation. As I move it does not feel like my skin is being pulled. There is a great deal of relief for me. You can put it on ICY/Hot and it becomes cold.

the cause of the pain was two herniated discs in the back. While undergoing intensive rehabilitation and physical therapy he was able to maintain a high level of concentration while in class. The doctor has recovered greatly, is no longer needing to undergo surgery, and is currently practicing limited hours.
