Pain
"I have arthritis, carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia. Wonderful for localized arthritis and carpal tunnel pain, not very good for fibromyalgia pain.  Used primarily on wrists, elbows and hips but have also used on neck/shoulders and knees.  Literally numbs the area.  Numbing sinks below the surface relieving joint pain.  Especially effective in my hips, allowing me to get sleep.



They cause a mild rash especially if I forget and leave them on to long.  They also come off easily. Take a good shower before applying and they stick better.  I wear breathable elastic braces on hands and elbows to keep them in place while I sleep.



I love these things, they greatly improve my quality of life and ability to function with virtually no side affects."
