I am 32 and I have severe cervical disc degeneration that causes extreme stiffness in my upper body and neck (since I was 25!). So far I have nothing but good thoughts about the patches. I even gave one to a friend who has a slipped disc. It is nicer than taking 800mg of Ibuprofen several times a day. I like the 12 hour aspect to it. My gripes are: I think I have developed one small area of reaction (swollen, red, raised, small) and the patches don't stick well enough. I move my shoulders and it is sticking to my shirt or they fall off when i put them on my neck. Overall I give them a B. Let me know how you get along with them! :) I have just started using Flector patches recently.

I have chronic pain in my neck and shoulder from a bad ski accident years ago.. Working on a computer all day dosen't help either.. I have had a lot of pain relief from using the patch.

After having neck surgery,I still suffered from very bad headaches. I found a wonderful pain clinic in Salt Lake City Ut. I had some nerves in my neck deadened, which helped my headaches, but still had a lot of shoulder pain. The Doctor gave me Flector patches to try and they have really helped. I also have been told that I have fibromyalgia, so was glad to hear that these patches have helped that problem.
