Gosh, I didn't have ANY luck with these at all. I'd place them where I was supposed to, and no relief. I'd even use more than one, and still no relief. I have severe back pain, as well as severe sciatica -- I've had that for 26 years!!! I finally just quit using them cause they just didn't work.
I was on some oral meds along with the patches and I still didn't get the relief.

Now I'm just on oral meds, but the doc found a combo that works great for me. I'm on Opana ER plus Lyrica, Topamax and Cymbalta and I have almost NO pain -- and after 26 years, this is like winning the lottery!

Best of luck all. I wish you all NO PAIN! God bless. Hugs, Lee
