Yes, they are amazing ...I had a huge swelling on my left Achillies tendon, from being hit from behind with a shopping basket. It was extremely painful and wouldn't go away.
I went to a podiatrist and they said take ibuprofen...pfffffTTTTT..
I had been doing that for weeks. Then I was subbing at a new pharmacy and there was a box of Salonpas samples there!
I took 7 home with me and put one on the egg sized lump where my shoe rubbed...man that was so painful then. I used one each night and by the end of the week, the lump shrank and I was pain free! I have recommended them ever since!
They come from Asia and have only been in US for about 10 yrs now. A box of 40 patches runs about $5 now! Still a deal.
once you open the envelop I'd suggest putting them in a ziploc to keep fresh.
