Acumed Magnetic Pain Relief Patches - Effective for Neck, Shoulder, Headache, Backache, Menstrual, Knee, Joint, Muscle & Arthritic Pain (10 Pack of 8)

This is a repeat buy, I find these work much better than the cheaper ones I found

Bought these for my husband's painful back. He used them several years ago for knee pain and they were very effective. He's had them on his back for 3 days with no results so far. My problem with this particular pack is that I think they may not be genuine. They look fine and packaging is ok but there is a very basic spelling error on the instruction leaflet. It advises that the pads are removed if any irritation occurs but the word irritation is spelt irrifation. Perhaps it's a simple printing error and no one at the manufacturers has noticed. Won't buy them again online.

I have been having pain in the bottom left side of my back for quite a while now and was in search of a remedy. I'm really pleased to say that it did work for me. The copper is high quality and the plasters stick well - even in the shower. As it's on my back I even forgot that it was on. I am indeed satisfied with my purchase

I usually buy these patches from the country's biggest chemist - which as far as I know is the only High Street store that sells them. Bought on line a couple of times from Amazon and found that they do not seem as effective as those bought in the store.I do not know why this is so!Acumed patches do work for me - they will never stop really severe pain but they are very good in easing the odd ache that we all get as we get older. One word - persevere!! Don't expect immediate miracles.

bought for my partner - they work reasonably well but he didnt want to reorder so that says it all

Absolutely no pain relief gained from these. Not sure why but didn't work for my shoulder pain. Could work on other areas but as I don't have any left I am unable to try.

I am disabled and on top of all my other troubles I have a lump in my lower back that presses on my spine and causes serious pain and discomfort, however, using these pads has eased this to the point where I can actually get about without wanting to cry every time I take a step. I haven't tried them on every painful place I have (I'd need a couple of boxes a time) but at least I can deal with life a little better now. My mother has serious problems with arthritis in both knees, they are swelled and creak really loudly if she bends them (sitting/rising & going upstairs etc) but within 24 hours or putting patches on them the swelling had almost disappeared and she could bend both knees much more easily. I started by buying just one box of 8 but have purchased a larger pack now I know they work for us as it works out cheaper. They may seem a little pricey but if you think about wearing one for 5/6 days it doesn't seem so bad. One word of warning, be careful not to use any body cream etc or they won't stick for long, I lost a couple quite quickly before realising my shower gel had inbuilt moisturiser! once I stopped using this before applying patches they lasted for week at a time

OMG these are fantastic I feel like the Bionic woman They are brilliant for pain I'got my second lot yesterday The time limited to keep them on the pain is Great Gove them a try You wont be dissatisfied Well I'm not Thankyou to the Plaster Man lol Shirley
