Icy HotMax Strength Lidocaine Pain Relief Patch (5 Count) Penetrates for Fast, Targeted Relief

Icy hot pain patches are a good deal. I use them several times a week to help control some sort of pain in my back. They are quite cost-effective and I appreciate how they work in easing at least part of the pain. Great product, great price.

I've tried nearly all the patches. When I hit the Icy Hot Max patches I was psyched. There's nothing better than lidocaine and menthol. It's by far the best out there in my opinion. I usually rub the affected area down with Icy Hot Max cream, let it dry then apply the patch. They are sticky, as much as most others. I always tape or wrap the patch so it doesn't accidentally take a break. Good stuff for the cash, it's easy to use and it helps stop the pain, most importantly. I put one on at night and I can still feel 'heat' from it in the morning. I wish they'd make the large patches in Max.

Feels goodNot sticky enough

When my husband broke his back, he loved to use these. The sizes are similar to the patches the doctor gave him, except these worked longer and provided more comfort to him. They are cost efficient and would not hesitate on buying these again.

They’re a lifesaver and a nice addition to anyone’s first aid. Be mindful of Lidocaine patches, while they are effective, they can cause further skin irritation with uneven use. You’ll need to read the directions for these as they are but a percentage point lower than prescription lidocaine patches, and depending on the individual, your symptoms may be less than worthy of using these for long term use. But for me, I had upper back pain in a particular area and they work well for about 3 hours of use, then kinda fade out over the day. You’re not supposed to use more than 3-4 a day, so i’d go along with that. If after a few hours pain is returning, or it’s in a different area, it’s fine to take the one you have off and cover the prior area and new area, it’s all dependent on how painful it is, for me I was experiencing a numbness and itchiness in that part of my back. The icyhot formula has always worked, but lidocaine is a perfect addition to their standard formula. I’m satisfied to say the least, and a little peeling doesn’t bother me I assure you when the pain is relieved. But with that said, the adhesive is abysmally bad. They really need to work on that. I advise that you take as many fabrics as you can off that may collide with the product. You can also use a little surgical tape to help keep it on if you have some handy. Otherwise, keep pressing.

This is an excellent product for back pain. Only 3 stars because it was shipped in only the flimsy box that you'd find on the drugstore shelf. I'm all for reducing packaging, but this is ridiculous.

I was going through a horribly painful time with my lower back huring and these were the only thing that helped. lidocain patches are amazing and a true helper with pain that can hobble a man

Patches work well for pain relief. Easy to use - just peel and stick.
