I started taking them for Shingles in September. They worked so well that it wasn't long until I was cutting them in half and putting them on my back. No, pain at all and I have had 7 back surgeries and a Stimulator. They did cost me $120, but can you put a limit on pain medicine? I had insurance but I go into the donut hole every year about August.
They work great folks, if your looking for pain relief and can afford them.
