"i have cervical &amp; lumbar spinal stenosis, herniated discs and several other spinal issues. the lumbar part causes extreme pain in my hip to the point i can barely walk. i&#039;m waiting for pain mgmt appt, but after seeing them for cervical problems i have zero confidence they will help.  in the meantime, my gp precribed these in addition to oral pain med. after reading reviews here, i&#039;m glad i went to walgreens because i got the ones from watson. they stick well so far. too soon to say how well they work because i just applied a little while ago. it does seem a little better already though.  pretty expensive co-pay, but if it helps i&#039;ll find a way to afford it."
