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.

I had been suffering with lower back pain for about two weeks. It got to the point where Itwas so painful that I couldn't function. The wife urged me to try IcyHot. Wow! after about an hour I could feel it working. I slept with it on and work up the next morning with practically no pain. I highly recommend this product.

The only patch I use for my back pain. It is very effective.

Instant relief of back pain up to 8 hours. The heat level was just right. I don't actually recall a smell but if so its of menthol. Nice size patch thats easy to apply and the stickiness is just fine it does not feel as if was rolling off when moving around.
