These are $$$ and extremely UNfriendly for the environment
There are many equally effective pain relievers available today for far less $$.  The BIGGEST problem with these patches is the ridiculous packaging is so harmful to the environment and wasteful overall.  I've taken the patches out of the plastic tubing and let them sit in a cabinet for several months to see if they'd degrade at all, trying to see if there's a logical reason and justification.  NOPE.  Someone must've gotten a good deal on a boatload of these plastic things and now the co. is using them despite the environmental cost.  Leave it up to customers to "recycle" your unnecessary packaging?  Not right.
