Icy Hot Extra Strength Medicated Patch, XL Back & Large Areas, 3 Count

Wow! These are amazing for my low back pain. The generous size covers a very large area. They begin to work within minutes and last a solid 8 hours. These help my pain go from from severe (8/10) to minimal (2/10) without the use of stomach-irritating pain relievers. Smell is minimal and tolerable. May seem pricey at 3 patches per box but for all -day pain relief, these are well worth it. We always keep a box on hand for the 2-3 x year we need them. They are a bit tricky to apply, best to have some help. Can also be cut into smaller sizes, just cut a slit in the top to help with peeling. Make sure you apply to clean and dry skin and smooth it out while applying a bit of pressure to help it adhere better. Hold it in place with a fitted tee tucked under your clothes.

I bought this expecting three boxes (3 count as labelled in product description and as shown in the product images) but only received 1 box with 3 patches inside - instead of 3 boxes each with 3 patches inside. Quite frankly, $18 for 1 box of icy hot with just 3 patches is really ridiculous. Reading through these reviews, I see this is a consistent problem with this product - some people get 3 boxes with 9 patches total and other gets 1 box with just 3 patches total.

XL good size, treats a large area. Sticks well , not much smell. Lasts a long time, soothed my hamstring on low back. Would recommend. Keep some on hand now just in case.

I really like using these patches when my lower back starts bothering me. They are easy to apply and stay in place well. The menthol provides a nice cooling and warming sensation that helps ease the discomfort. A very convenient option for temporary pain relief.

Great pain relief!! Does the job!
