Pain
"I have an osteotomy in my left tibia.  The surgery was a year ago, and the break has not filled in with new bone.  I was prescribed the patches with the caveat  that &quot;they may not work.&quot;  They work very well and my pain has decreased between 75-90%.  If I use them as directed (1 every 12hrs)  they are most effective.  There are some issues with the adhesive on the edges but I&#039;ve found if I warm them with my hand they stick better.  True, there is very little movement of fabric over the area as with back issues.  I work with a personal trainer 5 days a week so the leg gets a lot of use.  Mine is an unusual use for these patches, but they are definitely worth a try."
