Osmo Patch

Have been using osmo patch for 10 days now ,and have found my hip bursitis has eased .Have had 2 cortisone injections over the last year which have not helped .So going to get my 2nd packet from the chemist as I still have a lot of gunk coming onto the patch .I give it a thumbs up . Show details

In April I was diagnosed with a bakers cyst behind my knee. I've never had so much pain walking in my life. It was aspirated with some relief but it continues to give me pain, impacting my mobility and life in general. A couple months ago I desperately googled natural treatments for bakers cyst and the OSMO patch popped up. I needed something to… Read more

get me through a 10 car trip. I ordered it. It arrived the day before we left. I put it on and went to bed. It helped. I used the patch several days during my trip and was impressed with how it was easing my pain and helping my mobility despite my inactivity of car travel. When we got home I ordered more. The only down side is the smell when you remove it in the morning. It reminds me of a mustard pack. I could care less. Im feeling better and recommend this product if you have a bakers cyst. I'll never be without my Osmo patch. I still struggle with stairs but I rate my progress 90% compared to a few months ago.

Worked for elbow bursitis – I found out about Osmo Patch while googling a home remedy for my elbow bursitis that I had had for around a month. It was very swollen but there was no constant pain unless I was leaning on it. After I started using the patches there was no improvement for the first three or four nights, and the family members were complaining about the smell… Read more

(the kid wouldn't come in for the cuddles in the morning as it was "way too stinky", and on the first night I used it my husband thought something was on fire so he was walking around the front yard at midnight trying to find the source of smoke). The smell didn't bother me though - it kind of smells like BBQ spices.

I started noticing a slight reduction in swelling after night four but I had to stop after night six as the adhesive caused annoying skin irritation, and I didn't want to aggravate it further. Despite my stopping using the patches, the swelling kept on going down and now, a week later, it is almost completely gone which I am very happy about.

So it did work but I did not enjoy the skin irritation that came with it.

A very positive effect when applied correctly – I have shoulder bursitis and tight muscles in my neck from multiple spine surgeries. Out of frustration and constant pain I tried the Osmo Patch from a sceptical perspective. Nothing to lose I thought. Upon first application on my shoulder overnight I had a 50% improvement in reduction of pain and greater movement. Fantastic! I then applied… Read more

to my neck muscle spasms. After 3 applications the very noticeable lump on the side of my neck had reduced to a quarter of its size which allowed greater rotation and much improve sleep. The patches are very sticky to enable an airtight seal which is necessary for the ingredients to extract inflammation. After which they must be removed carefully and/or soaked for a short time with a warm soap and water mix. That minor inconvenience is a small price to pay for the improvement I have received. These work better than the anti-inflammation medication and the only side-effect is a slight red patch after the patches are removed. Effective pain relief at home, one of the best things I have ever tried after experiencing 30 years of chronic neck pain. And I used these to alleviate my shoulder bursitis which has had a great effect to at least 50% improvement. So I thought I would try them on my neck muscle tightness. I am so happy after having dealt with that pain and restriction for 3 years since my last neck spinal fusion! It's not perfect but what an amazing improvement. Thank you for reading this review. When you find something that assists with daily life and chores, things that used to be simple and painless, you want others to experience the same. Craig

First Time Use – My friend found a youtube link and sent it to me for info after a year of pain that has affected my work, my sleep, my life. I had tried icing, heat, red lazer, physio, I take every supplement known to man and the bursitis in my shoulder is becoming worse. The patch was easy to apply by following the instructions. It smells a bit like bbq ribs,… Read more ·  1

which made me and my hubby giggle. I did experience some sever pain during the night, which woke me up multiple times but that is normal for me. I told myself to remember there is intense swelling in there and lots of damaged nerves, tendons, and muscles. Pain is to be expected if things move around, and after reading the other reviews- I will make sure I don't sleep on it (which I did, thinking it would help draw more out) or have pressure on it at all next time.

I took the patch off in the morning and instantly noticed my shoulder felt kind of numb, and the usual morning shooting pain was not there. It still aches a little, but I do feel a lot better than any other morning. I am excited to give it another go and see what happens!

Hi, I am such a fan of OSMO patches. Started with cyst behind knee a few years ago, worked with one application. Moved on to hamstring injury lately, then tail bone strain. Such an amazing product. Thank you for helping me. MB Show details

Have only used 5 patches so far but a lot of fluid has been absorbed each time and my shoulder is starting to feel less painful. My latest steroid injection didn’t work and was looking for a natural remedy as I don’t want any more. Very pleased I came across this. Show details

The relief from the Osmo patch is amazing for my Bakers Cyst. I'm on my second pack & it helps alleviate throbbing pain from my knee to shin. A must have for anybody suffering from muscular, skeletal, joint & cartilage problems. Best product ever & lovely smell. Use one every other night or when pain is unbearable. Show details

Stinks like crazy and the smell pervades everything. Wouldn't have minded, but these patches never worked. i.e. there was zero difference. I gave up after the 13th patch. It was just too onerous a process to wash the bedding everyday and air the room of the foul smell. Shame - and a complete waste of £47 Show details

Didn't work...but they gave me a full refund – Unfortunately I got absolutely no relief from these patches, despite following the instructions to the letter. All I got was some mild skin irritation from the high-level adhesive. I used it on my shoulder (for bursitis) and my elbow (for tennis elbow) and got no relief at all. The customer service team were quick to reply to my review and… Read more

processed my full refund without any fuss. While I'm disappointed it didn't work, I am impressed by how easy it was to get my money back.

No relief at all for my OA knees and Baker's Cysts – 2 x 20 patches later, and no difference in pain levels (8/10 certain days, haven't been pain free since September 2022) nor am I seeing a decrease in my Baker's Cysts. I'm very disappointed, as I considered this product to be one of my last options. Show details

I’ve had amazing improvement and would recommend these patches. I used my own sticky pads but the results were still very successful Show details

Elbow bursitis fixed in 2 weeks – i had a huge elbow bursitis for 4 months. i was given antibiotics twice. nothing changed. i was refered to physio rehab for an elbow sleeve to try and displace it. nothing worked. i got a referal to orthopedics only to be told its an 8 month waiting list to have it drained. or pay over the odds privately. i found osmo patches and thought id try… Read more

them, nothing to loose. it took only 13 patches, wearing them at night. approx 2 weeks. i am now fully bursitis free. i was amazed, friends even commented how much better it looks. Highly recommended for anyone with this problem, and so fast. after 4 months it took 2 weeks to resolve naturally.

Thank you Osmo. John Oakley

Slow but effective – I suffered from severe shoulder bursitis from March 2024 and over the period to November 2024 I managed to reduce the severity by 80% through physio and exercise. I just could not get rid of the last 20% of the pain which although did not restrict me much however was very annoying. After researching online I came across Osmo Patch and some glowing… Read more

reviews. I have tried the 10 pack and can say that I am down to the last 10% of discomfort and have ordered another 10 pack today hoping that it will get rid of the rest of the pain. The improvement is slow and the adhesive of the patch can cause some skin irritation after a few nights, however I stop using it and after a few days the skin is fine again. I will update my review after I have used the second batch of 10 when I receive it.

Osmo Patch for elbow bursa. It’s a great product – I purchased Osmo Patch because I fell over while running and developed a bursa on my elbow, and the elbow was still swollen after six weeks. I applied the Osmo Patch each night, and after five nights the swelling on my elbow had completely gone. This is an amazing product! Show details

Worked unbelievably well – My chiropractor put me onto osmo patches for a hip bursitis as my Dr was talking about cortisone. I got not pain relief for the first week but the amount of gunk the patch soaked up each night convinced something was happening. I used the patches for 4 nights then had 2 nights without one. My skin was a bit tender from the adhesive but I used… Read more

QV cream every day and the 2 nights and that worked well to get my skin almost back to normal. I used another 4 patches, kept getting a lot out each time and I started to feel less sore. I'm 2 weeks past my course and I have no pain at all! I can now move freely so can now strengthen my hip to hopefully prevent further problems. No cortisone and no pain, all for $40!

Remarkable aid in bursitis recovery – I have bursitis near my knee. Have used 5 patches and pain and discomfort has decreased considerably. Have been seeing a great physio and recommended Osmo patches as very helpful in the recovery process……Gaynor Moran, Adelaide Show details

Seems to work – The product does appear to be good at drawing excess fluid from joints. I think it could be more effective if it was designed in such a way as to keep the powder from collecting in one spot when applied. No matter how careful you are to distribute the powder evenly it usually all collects in one spot when you turn it over to apply. Would be better… Read more

if the powder could be in compartments. Also there needs to be a better way to ensure good skin contact without resorting to bandaging the area as well. Seems like a really decent product with a few design faults. If the powder is not evenly spread and there is poor skin contact or poor adhesion, it does not work as well as it could. I have had some good results by making sure that all these conditions are met.

Unbelievable but it works!!! – I had a meniscus tear injury that kept reswelling week after week. Despite resting, elevating and icing it for 4 weeks. I when to chemist as last resort after being on inflammation tablets and voltaren for several weeks. I told the pharmacist my problem she told me exactly what I needed, osmopatch. I was sceptical but I was willing to try… Read more

anything. First night they went on by morning they came off soaked through and swelling went down by half!!! I could not believe it. I did it again next night same thing soaked through it is no a third left, do did it again it was half wet and now the swelling is 90% gone after 3 nights!!! I can finally bend my knee, squat, run and walk properly. I cannot believe the transformation in my knee, incredible! Make sure the patch is in perfect contact with knee I also used knee brace to hold it right to my knee which helped to compress the swelling as the liquid came out.

We couldn’t believe the effect – Reading these reviews, these patches seem to be a bit marmite. They’re either brilliant or don’t work for some folk. My partner has bursitis in the thigh/hip and I have hip arthritis, we both thought we would give the patches a go and were frankly astonished at the results after just one patch. As they work on the process of osmosis, if you look… Read more

at the instructions, it says to slightly dampen the face of the patch if necessary, that seemed to assist greatly.

So far so good – I just used 2 patches and as i cannot move my arm i used them last night and this morning. Seems like they gave a bit of relief to my shoulder bursitis. After a visit to a chiropractor that left me in terrible pain, and unable to move my arm at all, I decided to try the patches. I have been on anti-inflammatories for a few days as well. I think it's worth a try ... i have regained a tiny bit of movement ..will use one again tonight Show details

These patches are excellent – After initially buying a pack of only 10 I have found these patches to be much more effective than any other anti inflammatory treatments. Absolutely the best for my arthritic knee. Highly recommended Show details

Good and bad so far – I have used the Osmo Patch before with pretty good results. This time, I bought another box to assist with hip bursitis and shoulder pain after a joint replacement. Tried the hip first and the next morning, it felt better for a good portion of the day. Then the pain came back late afternoon. So Day2, I put another one on the hip and also put one… Read more

on the shoulder. Both felt OK the next morning but when I took the patches off and washed the areas, I had skin pain and a blister on the hip. The shoulder has been quite good without blisters but now I am confused. Tonight I will put another one on the hip but in a slightly different spot to avoid more blisters (I hope). Might do the same with the shoulder as well.

Work in progress. Hence the three stars.

Best pain relief for shoulder bursitis – I am so thankful for the Osmo Patch, it really works, they really helped pain relief from a right shoulder bursitis, increased movement and glad its now available in NZ as could only get it from Oz - I used 5 of the 10 patches then didn't need them for a year until I increased exercise at the gym and got another one! Post this review: I didn’t… Read more

realise had an 8mm tear in supraspinata tendon so had a cortisone injection instead of surgery and have now built muscle up … grateful for patches to get me through initially ❤️

Useless – I bought the OSMO patch to help relieve back pain, the chemist recommended them. I found that I got no relief at all! I wouldn’t recommend them for any purpose on any part of the body, I wasted my money Show details

These really work – Ok I was cynical but desperate. I have a leaking bakers cyst behind my knee and after paying $300 to have it aspirated of Synovial fluid - it filled up again and was so painful. My SIL found the OSMO patches online so I ordered them. They arrived last Friday and I didn’t need them the following Friday because the lump and pain is gone. I don’t know what magical powder is in them but very grateful for it. They smell like BBQ chips but worth it! Show details

I do not recommend this patch – I hurt my shoulder and came across the osmo patch, started to use it. I had a major allergic reaction, I broke out in very itchy hives all over my body ended up in the emergency department at a hospital. I am 62 years old and have never had an allergic reaction to anything in my life. The patch did not alleviate any pain at all if any thing it… Read more

made it worse. I was diagnosed with allergic urticaria. 5 day's after discontinuing the use of the patch I'm still covered in a red itchy rash. Taking antihistamines every day and feeling depressed. I do not recommend this patch.

product is dangerous - – I purchased the Osmo Patch directly from the company for a bakers cyst. The first patch I used ripped my skin badly. Wounds are still healing. This product is dangerous - could have caused a bad infection! Show details

Used to be a good product , but something has changed – Have used osmo patches for bursitis for years, and each morning my foot felt better and was deft less swollen. The last order a few months ago everything changed though, the power was still there, and there was no improvement in my foot condition at all, something has changed with this product , and not for the better. I emailed osmo telling them about this, but unfortunately they weren’t interested in my comments Show details

Damaging adhesive – Put the patch on at night. When I tried to remove it next day, it ripped my skin off. Adhesive not suitable for elderly skin. No warning on the packet. Show details
