Ace Patch Aqueous Balm (Formerly Known as Pain Goodbye Patch) - 10 Pack

I have previously ordered this item and was extremely pleased. The packaging for each separate application was separate and airtight. The most recent order omitted packaging for each application, and each application was shorter surface area of medicine applied. Not nearly as effective as original purchase. Quality decreased, but not the price.

I have been using these patches for years with great relief for all kinds of muscle pain. In my last order, these patches are very very different and look nothing like the picture. They are thinner, smaller, and missing any labels. They are hard to handle without folding over itself and then can’t be used. I have used 2 and the ingredients are different, smell different and don’t seem to provide the same relief. They are not individually packaged, so it is unclear how long they will last when opened. Seller should change the package picture and description - these are not the aqueous balms

The ONLY thing that eases my joint pain - and it always works! I typically cut each patch in half and use on my knee. In 15-20 minutes pain is completely gone and the effect lasts about 4 hours. Works better than ibuprofen or narcotics. Seriously! My acupuncturist from China introduced me to this miracle and it has significantly improved my quality of life. Works for muscle strains too. The tape used for adherence is similar to Hyperfix brand and it smarts for the second it takes you to rip off - a very small price to pay for hours of relief. I’d suggest cutting off the tape and using a wrap like an ace bandage to hold in place if you are hairy or have paper thin/extra sensitive skin.

I was skeptical, but these really do help with the arthritis in my knee. Usin one feels like putting a fresh Biofreeze or similar gel on. The coll feeling remains for hours. The adhesive is excellent. It sticks and does not slip, even during intense exercise. It also removes easily and does not irritate my skin or leave s sticky residue. My knee was bothering me a lot recently, and I wore these nearly constantly and I have no irritation on my knee. I wore one while running a marathon in the rain ( under a neoprene brace), and it stayed in place the entire time. I have even taken a shower and the patch stayed on and remained effective afterward.You can cut them, too. Half a patch is just the right size to wrap on the inside of my knee. There is s gentle stretch to the patch that both makes them easy to apply in rounded areas and keeps them on during movement.

I love these so much that I covet them more than gold! I have other pain relieving patches....but when life is way to dang hard and those other patches are not doing the trick...I use these!!! I can actually fall asleep almost every time.I will say that even after cleaning the skin with alcohol wipe, for whatever reason....that outside adhesive does not want to stick! I got a roll of the PAPER first aid tape to help hold at the neck and shoulder area to minimize my hair being stuck in that mess. But it's worth the extra couple minutes to do it!!

This didn't cure my aching back, but it helped alleviate the pain.

This patch really helps. Not too hard to put on. Sometimes leaves the area a little slimy when you remove but it works great. It has a strong menthol smell so if that's not your thing, don't use .

They work. They actually work! I suffer from lower back pain and these patches ease that pain like nothing else can; even oral medications. Apply and leave in place for up to 24 hours - they continue to work. I was introduced to these by a holistic health center where I utilize massage, acupuncture and chiropractic services. They have not been able to order more from the company, most recently, so I turned to Amazon to find them. They appear to be in limited supply, so I hope they are not being discontinued!
