Have anyone ever tried SALONPAS

PS ALSO NEW HERE Have anyone tried a patch that is called SALONPAS on the spots that flare up first. I fine these in the drug stores.are walmart  where every you look go to the RX department.   There"s  a figure of a body  on the box, when I first started using this it had spot on the box of where I had trigger points.  I don't no if I still have a picture of the original box I copy it an sent it to my sister in law. But anyway they help me with the trigger spot I do still take meds but when it really give me trouble. I look polk a dotted  because of all the patches that I have on sometime but for me it works. I took a fall several days ago and low and behold flare up. patch up and down the body.  If you work there is a light scent, it not that loud.  When I first notice the FIBRO my knees would click when I walk, try to tip toe and you could hear my knees clicking .  If you was walking by when I was walking you could hear the click the muscle was so tight. Once I started the meds for all the other hurt the clicking stopped. Odd it was the Fibro that was causing it. Kathleen 07/02/2007

Hi Kathleen and Welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing the info on your patches, I'm going to check them out.                                                  Phyllis

I use the ptches too.  You can get a great deal on them at costco.  The smell is so light I can even wear them to work.  Good product.

I love Salanpas I also purchase them at Costco I recently ordered some Fibroplex from Holisticphysicians and ordered some bigger ones and they work great on my neck.  I always have them in my purse so I can slap one on if I need them  Deb

Never heard of them, but I am going to walmart first thing tomorrow and get me some.  thanks for the info.  Lord knows fibro sufferers need all the help we can get.

Hi Darlene, I really hope they help they have help me in the pass years where I take less pain meds. I was thinking about using them for a headache I got this morning at 2:12am in the morning. I've taking sleeping pills and the headache is driving me crazy.  It's  allergy season for me. and sinus. It has not gave me trouble since surgery. Good luck with the patches and lith me know if they helped.

I LOVE salonpas for the occasional sore shoulder etc but just read that the main jngredient while not injested can cause an ulcer. I do have an ulcer and the PA was trying to figure out how I got it - now I'm thinking it might be from salonpas. And to think I just ordered 10 from Amazon!!!! No more for me.

I have had fibro since 1980.  When I need help but I am not ready for the Tramadol I use Salompas. I discovered them years ago. I also have prescription Lidoderm patchs....Salompas out performs the Lidoderm hands down. Lidoderm will not stay on my skin...Salompas does. I also depend heavily of Flexall 454. It is an old fashioned horse type liniment that actually penetrates into the tissues to warm and heal.  My rhumatologist just gave me a new prescription pain patch called Flector. It works well but I bet Salompas still works better. Just MHO.
