Sometimes I forget I have them. But they really have helped when I remember. I use them mostly in the spine area and the upper butt near hip area since that is where I have the most pain.

The Pain Specialist even suggested the plastic covering the sticky part can be put back on and can get an extra use from the patch. He said because the 12 hours are up to remove patch from a specific area (so skin will not get irritated) , there is still medication left in the patch. I have not tried reusing them myself.

Hope these work for you; worth a try.
