actipatch

[Anjila]

i read somewhere that someone was using actipatches i have bought some but so far (twenty four hours) i am not feeling any benefits does it take a while to build up?

Hi Anjila,

Yes honey i have 1 & when I got it, put it on at 5 pm Frid. Continued in pain all night, all day Saturday, Sat. Night then woke up Sunday and my back pain was completely gone.

So I have now ordered the full 170 hr one & while waiting this week for it to come I'm in agonising pain again.

So my answer to you is, yes do give it a couple of days.

It works for me but I have also heard that some people it doesn't work, so would deffo say give it a bit longer & I hope it does the trick.

Luv Jan x

thanks for the encouragement i thought id wasted my money but i suppose with everything things take time do you have a tens machine they are good but you do feel like yr being tazered it did my knee some good a few years ago so have dragged it out of the drawer and given it a dust off and will give that a god as well, can you use more than one at a time as my pain is in various areas take care and warm hugs to you....

Hi Yvon01 

Yes I did see, they also sell on Amazon. Sorry I did mean 702 hrs, don't know why I put 172 must have been a fibro fog moment lol

I know they are so good. I was impressed. I have another trial one but you can't turn off like the 702 hrs. one so I'm sort of waiting to use when I really need it. 

I have had an awful back & leg pain for a couple of days but its easier today. I should put it on all the time and not wait till the pain is unbearable. I will have to get the 702 hr one though, its just money all the time, isn't it ?

peace, luv & light

i have just had a response from someone called jan who said that it was nearly four days before it kicked in but that then her pain was gone, we can only hope!

[Janet28]

Oh tens make you jump around like you got ants in your pants & end up in more pain than you started lol but I did persevere with it and love to use on my back. Funnily enough I can't use it anywhere else because it either hurts or really tickles, most parculier lol.

If you can use more than one at a time, I really don't know to be honest.

I would imagine so, if in different parts of body. Don't see why not.

Although tens is 15min but as you say it's a lot fiercer than the Actipatch.

You don't know you even have the Actipatch on do you ?.

Think it works better if you wear it continuously though so it would work out quite expensive for 2 or 3.

We were joking a while back that they need to invent a whole body one a d we'd be ok then lol.

Hi, that was probably my post you saw. Yes, it does take a few days usually, depends on where and type of pain. I found it works on low back, but takes time, top of back, shoulder and also tried on thighs. So bear with it and hopefully, it will help. That why they do the trial patch. For anyone else who wants to try Acti-Patch, Google the name and you will find it.

Good luck

I have also bought some of these but I have not tried them yet. I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck with them.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I've just got one and I can't really say I've noticed any difference. I get a result with a Tens machine though but find using it too much makes me overdo it and increases my pain.

Its very sad. Each time I think that this or that thing might be the answer for me. If it helps others that's great but not me

I think I will have a try, I usually have my tens and it works up to a point and replying to the previous writer if it makes you jump you have it a too high a setting you are just supposed to feel it slightly x
