When I used them, I would apply them on the inner thigh, outer thigh, shoulders, tummy, hips, Where ever my arm would reach with the exception of any area close to my heart.

It was easier during the winter months when I could wear my jeans and didn't have to worry about the patch being seen. I would plaster them where ever during that time. It was the summer months that had me scrambling for places to put them to keep them hidden.

I hope this helps.

You're welcome. Placing them in varied places also saves the skin and you are less likely to become irritated due to reapplying them in the same area/s.

I pray they work for you, my body rejected them several months after they were prescribed for me. I must admit, that although they worked great and kept my pain at bay, I was also off in la, la land almost all the time. I'm drug sensitive and many things that help others, I can't take or use.

I have one of those cockeyed bodies with a messed up metabolism and have to be alert 100% of the time due to this malady.

If I can be of more help, feel free to contact me offline and I will get back to you ASAP.

Gentle Hugs,

Dee
