    After suffering lower back pain after a fall, this patch was wonderful..I suffered for 9 months before seeing a doctor who prescribed it. I have these headaches with it that are migraine like. It lasts all day-and is making me irritable and feeling horrible. I also get a tightness in my chest that makes it feel like someone is giving me a "bear hug". I also feel as if I have "wi ...

    Super for taking care of pain with my deteriorating Disk disease. 3 disks gone.. pain and patch works... Does have some side effects. First being a lot less pain. Second being the runs... oh well,nothing is perfect. Also may be what causes those really bad headaches I get at night.

    I was prescribed this for the arthritis in my back & am happy with it as it doesn't irritate me stomach. The price is prohibitive though, sad to say I won't be using it much longer.

    I have arthritis, bursitus, and fibromayalsia. Found that the patches have worked really well for me. I am however really dissapointed with the cash pay price. Prescription for 60 patches is $425 here in Florida. But, how do you put a price on pain relief that is non-narcotic? Narcotic pain meds only lead to more pain meds and more pain. Take it from one who has been there and has recovered from 5 ... Show Full Comment

After 15 days I am covered in itchy hives and have been given an inhaler to help stop the constant coughing I have developed. Now trying Singular to get rid of the hives. With the added stress of this, pain is now worse then before and I itc ... Show Full Comment
