I saw a post in which you mentioned Salonpas, and I just happened to see them in a store today. I should have looked to see how many were in a box. Not many, it was just a little box. But hey, they were only $3.50
I thought if the Flector doesn't pan out, I may give those a try.
These do seem to work better than taking just an OTC orally. I had a long term problem with chronic headache and had to stop taking Advil (I'd use that for normal aches and such)- it seemed to be exacerbating the h/a, a rebound effect maybe. (I didn't seem to have the problem with naproxyn, but Aleve didn't help the pain either.)
So I hope not to have that problem with the patch.
As for the actual cost - according to my ins, $780 for 180 of them - about $4.33 a piece. But with my copay, it's about 33 cents a patch - 2 patches a day.
And thanks for all of your advice. I'll talk with my doc about how long I'm supposed to use them and what to do then.
