Salonpas Pain Gel (methyl salicylate) "I have bursitis in both hips that developed prior to back surgery. The pain is bearable during the day, but at night, I wake up with pain because I'm a side sleeper. I started using Salonpas gel and, I have been able to sleep through the night without waking. I get cortizone injections when needed, but when I can't get an appointment quick enough, this is fantastic! And for roughly $8.00 at Walmart... you can't beat it!"

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) "Horrible! I used these patches for a few years and love them. Now with the new gel design they are a waste of your money , once you move they begin to roll off, its difficult to keep one on your body. I wish they had never changed the designto Gel Patches. I CAN no longer support this product and advise everyone not waste their money. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PATCHES..listen to your customers.!!!!"

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) "I tried the patch for a sore muscle in my shoulder. It was hard to put on and the end curled up. It didn't warm up very much and gave no pain relief whatsoever. Not worth the money I paid for them. Won't ever buy it again."

Salonpas Pain Patch (methyl salicylate) "I had VERY severe pain from a pulled, overworked leg muscle, above & below my knee. Tried to get an appointment with my acupuncturist & my friend recommended I try the patches until then. They were exceptional in helping to alleviate my severe pain! Have read you should only use 3 patches, but my box illustration shows 4 on a person's body & this has worked great. The range of motion in my leg is getting better every day. Am a very happy customer!"
