Nurofen 200mg Pain Patches - 4 Pack For Knee, Period, Muscle, Bone & Joint Discomfort, Ibuprofen 24H Relief Solution

These are really really good for my sore lower mid back pain. However. They are too expensive for regular use unfortunately. I bought them for going on holiday with a little of walking to last all day, and they did. Stayed on 24 hours too. Id buy for same again.

I suffer very badly with stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis. These have been an absolute game changer for me, dampen the lower back pain down so l can function.

A pain patch that actually works. But the price hurts worse than my knees do.... Despite the advice not to, you absolutely can cut them into squares with a set of kitchen scissors eg 3x2. They still work for minor aches and pains throughout the day this way, with the full patch only being necessary for something like a thrown back. It sticks well but does try to peel off with tighter clothes. Not that big a deal. Pain relief usually lasts 8-10h for me, results may vary with your pain tolerance and pain-killer tolerances. Honestly though, despite the price, definitely worth trying but unless your made of money, find a way do not rely on them daily.

Does help

These work well - if you can make them stay on! Some body parts work better than others. They advise you to prep the skin with alcohol first, which helps a bit, as does exfoliating the skin with a scrub first. Worn under clothes I find they quickly curl up at the edges, then the exposed adhesive catches in the fabric which pulls on it some more - sometimes ripping it right off if I move too quickly. The instructions say not to cover the patch, which is breathable, with another dressing, but I've found no other way to keep the things stuck to my hip! I wear a massive - and also expensive - Tegaderm film dressing over the top. It's a lot of money for something that doesn't stay stuck on to do its job, but if you can keep it in place for 24hrs and use one for 2 or 3 days, the pain relief is excellent.

This is a great alternative to oral medicine as I have an aversion to pills and liquids really helps with period pain. Couldn't be without now even helps with common colds!

Large patch good coverage

Didn't work for me. I think ibuprofen tablets are better.

Not worth the money & never worked for me, waste of money
