"finally some relief! i suffer from neck/shoulder pain due to a horrific auto accident years ago where my head hit the steering wheel so hard it bent it. i also suffer terribly from fibromyalgia &amp; arthritis. i have tried vicodin, norco, lortab, tramadol, oxycodone etc. as well as lidoderm patch with absolutely no relief. morphine worked well but i didn&#039;t like the side effects. my doctor suggested the flector patch and altho i had little hope -- they worked!!  they don&#039;t take the pain away completely but do take it down to a manageable level (ie, from 8/9 to 4/5). my only complaint is that i can only wear 2 patches maximum and wish i could put a patch on every pain site. they are amazing!!"
