Flector has kinda helped my pain. But I can't get the patch to stay on and it is driving my nuts trying to keep it on. There has got to be a better way. maybe make it a little smaller.

Used patches for 3 mos for arthritis--hips, knee, spine, hands, shoulders w/exc results. Recommend using tape to help it attach--I use fabric "Cover-Roll stretch tape" from my PT--made by "Beirsdorf" 10ydsx2" for ~$20.

Comment:
This medication was prescribed for hip tendonistis. It was effective in relieving my pain for the most part but caused cardiovascular problems which caused me to discontinue the Flector patch. I am currently unable to work due to the side effects of this patch. I was hospitalized for about a week and before that I was in and out of the ER trying to figure out what was going on.

Comment:
I was prescribed Flector for hip tendonitis. I cut the patch to about 1x4 and sometimes follow up with a piece of medical tape to keep it there during the day. It works great! It has not made the pain completely go away but at least I can go about my day normally.
