Yes, the Salonpas original can be cut. I do that for my fingers.
I use them on my right thumb and first two fingers often.
And my big toes on occasion.

BTW they have changed the stickem and improved them. My new box is very nice and different!

I don't want to be a downer, but I did have a crush injury on my right big toe years ago...a boulder fell out of a wall we were repairing and broke it in two places. It has always been stiff and problematic for me since.

But I have smashed my pinkey toe (it turned black) once when I was vacuuming..and it healed up easily.

You can be creative with the Salonpas. I think they are very handy and very inexpensive for the return you get from their use.

I have been eating tart dried cherries for the past month, and see a definite improvement in my arthritis too... they are really good antioxidant sources:

These are the ones I use. Doesn't take very many to get a good result either.
