Hi I got the 7 day trial of actipatch and it was brilliant, lower pain went, So I brought the 720 hours from boots it worked great also the 2nd month I brought another one and after 2 weeks the pain in my back was there constant again, When I told my physio she said I had probably got use to the pain so it would no longer work..So for 6 weeks it felt great, Unless I had a dud one the 2nd time around, but at £20 a time £5 a week it was worth the pain relief..

The hang in there

If you do try it, let us all know...I have tried every patch that I can buy over the counter and even with my doctor prescription, the patch doesn't help much with the lower back or back of neck... these are the most tender areas for me in fibro, gosh, I hope you find relief in them if you try them, hugs

Yeah I've had that too, but just realised I haven't been taking my anti inflammatory meds for a few days, it's no wonder I'm in pain, need my brain to work

When my back pain gets real bad and it affects my legs I get steroid injections in my back done in a serial surgical room by a nerio sergeon.
