Flector Patch for bone and muscle pain accompanied by Egoscue exercises

0 Recommendations

My doctor prescribed this medicine (known as diclofenac epolamine topical patch) 1.3%. You wear the patch for 12 hours but I keep it on longer than that. It really works. I have 4 severely herniated discs in my lower back, 3 bone spurs in my right hip and Osteoporosis. This patch enables me to do a ton of gardening and exercise without the usual deep pain. I also plan on skiing before the season ends this year. I supplement it with the rollon Biofreeze product. Many times I will roll on alot of the biofreeze and then sit in a hot hot tub - what relief and it lasts. The patch enables me to go several days on one patch. I think for 30 days worth of patches it will cost me $2.67 a patch. I don't use the patch every day just when I have really overdone it with gardening and working on a house remodel. I also got Pete Egoscue's book titled Pain Free a revolutionary method for stopping chronic pain.

I took picture of myself left and right side and front and back then send them in to an Egoscue trainer who puts together an online set of video exercises for me to do every day. There are about 16 exercises in the set I now do. These exercises help me to eliminate pain. The cost is $50 for each new set. I get a new set about every 2 months. Jack Nickalus the golfer said "Pete Egoscue has totally changed my life. Never have I experienced such complete pain relief as I have following the Egoscue Method."
