    Hi soozyquoo :)

    I have never used these patches but did not wish you to feel abandonned as no one has answered your post yet. Perhaps not many peeps use these patches.

    From having a quick google I see that the patches take a while to get up to speed at first and won’t work fully for 24 hours and usually last for 72 hours. I would have thought the first patch you put on would have worked if it was going to do so. Perhaps you need a slightly stronger dosage as you say you are on the lowest one, but that is only a wild guess. I would get back to whoever prescribed them to you if you are still in a lot of pain.

    Hope they work soon,

    Luv
