I suffer from Arthrosis in both knees, and I am currently taking Meloxicam so that I can manage to do my normal everyday activities. It was only recently that I discovered I had Arthrosis. I have suffered from this for awhile now, as I walked it felt as though my knee caps were twisting. I would always get sharp pains that were unbearable. Going up stairs were almost impossible.
When we moved in with my sister for that short time I was walking stairs several times a day. That is when I new I had to get in and get something done about this issue. Xray’s were done, and I was given the news. Since taking Meloxicam the pain has reduced a lot, however, taking pills to help me manage is not my cup of tea. I am currently taking so many different pills it’s no fun.
I recently got several topical pain relief products in the mail for review. I honestly didn’t think it would work well, so when I decided not to take a pill and to put on a Salonpas Arthritis Pain Patch instead, I was a bit worried. After I had it on for a bit I could tell it was helping, it didn’t completely take the pain away, but neither does my pills.
I love the fact that these will help me with my pains. If you suffer from back pain or arthritis I highly recommend these products. I was expecting the sprays to be greasy, however, they spray on easily and there was no mess!
With my husband and I being more for all natural ways to help with pain, I can see myself trying to get off my pain pills, and to go all natural with topical.
A little about the products:
* Salonpas Pain Relieving GEL-PATCH HOT-L introduces the healing powers of pepper, representing a medical advancement in patch therapy by featuring capsaicin (0.025%) and menthol (1.25%) in a soothing cloth that is ideal for relief of minor aches and pains in the shoulder, upper back and lower back.
* Salonpas Pain Relieving Massage Foam delivers a new pain relief sensation for tough pain. The massage foam combines the benefits of self-massage with a powerful, clean-drying medicine provides relief for even tough pain. With active ingredients menthol (3%) and methyl salicylate (10%), the Salonpas Pain Relieving Massage Foam is an easy-to-use topical analgesic that delivers pain relief in seconds.
* Pain sufferers can now experience a blast of cooling pain relief with Salonpas Pain Relieving Jet Spray. When you experience pain, you want fast relief. With active ingredients menthol (3%) and methyl salicylate (10%), this is an easy-to-use topical analgesic for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with strains, sprains, bruises, simple backache and arthritis. Using a highly pressurized jet force, the Salonpas Pain Relieving Jet Spray delivers a strong cooling effect to the skin minus any greasy feeling or messy drip.
* The Salonpas Pain Relief Patch and Salonpas Arthritis Pain Patch, now in sleek new packaging, are the first and only FDA-approved OTC pain relieving patches, and manufactured using new ultra-thin Comfort Stretch™ technology that provides effective pain relief for up to 12 hours.
Salonpas topical pain relief products would make a great gift for those dads out there that have those aches and pains after a long day of work.

I was reading that they offer a lot of help to different types of pain and some of those pains I experience; however, I wonder if it would help those that have fibromyalgia pain.

I love Salon Pas. It has helped with the fibromyalgia related to the systemic lupus I have, and it has helped relieve the pain of degenerative disc diseasee. I am glas to see the info on the salon pas massage foam, which has less objectionable smell to it when compared to other brands.
They really work,and I follow you.
