Used for Bakers Cyst - left with a rash and nasty blister behind knee
I had read quite a lot on this product and considered it would be appropriate for help to ease Bakers Cyst behind knee. After 2 pads (which have a very unpleasant smell) ceased using and achieved no relief - a couple of days later, have been left with an irritating rash and a nasty looking blister. May work for some, but there is something in the ingredients that obviously doesn't agree with my skin.

They do what they say.
I came across Osmo patch a few years ago with Elbow bursitis. The patches did a brilliant job and I have about 6 left. I recently used the patches on a swollen knee that had been problematic for weeks. A couple of days with the patches and my knee is almost back to normal.

Helped with metatarsalgia
I have struggled to walk for over 6 weeks with metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain). My podiatrist suggested an ultrasound guided cortisone injection into the joints which is known to be very painful and costly so I delayed this to see what other treatments might work. After trying rest and Voltaren for 3 weeks I finally tried Osmo patches as a last resort. I was a bit sceptical however after 4 nights my foot is about 80% better.

Hip pain with bursitis for a long time. Applied patch. Was dark colour when I removed it next morning. Used 1 packet ,one daily. No improvement. I did send query about contents of patch. Just curious. They can't divulge details about content. Wish I had thought of this idea to make a handy profit!!!!

Nothing worked for the bursitis in my left leg except for this product. God send!!
This is an amazing temporary fix along with 50 leg raises everyday. It’s so easy to use and works a treat. Ensure you get the right spot where the pain is otherwise won’t work.

Osmo patch works for me
I've had inferior calcaneal bursitis for a couple of months, seeing physio and GP, who was talking about steroid injection. I saw Osmo Patch online and my chemist stocks it. He'd had good feedback about the patches. The first night brought slight relief. Second night reduced swelling markedly and less pain. Third night - swelling is even less and so is pain. I will keep on with the patches until the bursitis disappears. The patches have a strange odour, but it's ok. They stay on if you apply them just before bed. For me, they've been really great. So happy to be walking without pain.

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, 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 t...
Read morehere 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!Purchased in December 2019 at Chempro Chemists for $39.99.

This patch is amazing!
I am a nurse and was recently diagnosed with shoulder bursitis. I was unable to move or raise my R arm and in severe pain for 7-8 weeks. I wasnt sleeping due to the pain and it was taking a toll on me physically and emotionally. I had a cortisone injection and was ill for a week due to side effects and only got 2 days pain relief. While doing some research I came across Osmopatch. I was willing to try just about anything at this stage for pain relief. So I purchased a packet. I must say I was still very much a sceptic when I applied the patch...
Read more the first night.. But within 5 mins the pain was greatly reduced... I thought..They can't possibly work that quickly! I continued to use them for about a fortnight and my shoulder is almost back to normal. Even my physiotherapist is surprised at the progress and the return of ROM in my arm. I can thoroughly recommend Osmopatch.Purchased in November 2019 at Local chemist for $39.99.

Doesn't Stick
I used this patch on my teenagers as they were suffering from muscle pain. The skin was clean and dry but the patch doesn't stay on very long. I put it on them just before they go to bed but by the middle of the night it peels off. We've used 3 patches and everytime it peels off.
A Godsend !
I have osteoarthritis in all my joints but my knees are the worst. I also have bursitis in my left hip. Following months of pain and discomfort and trying everything I could lay my hands on, I came across Osmo Patch through extensive research on hip bursitis. It is expensive admittedly, about £5 per patch but oh so worth it. Its a little stinky but nothing off putting. So far I've used on my hip and both knees and every morning I've gotten up pain free and moving freely. I've already recommended it to family and friends who would benefit. For...
Read more me it's an absolute godsend. I don't plan to use it every night due to the cost but I will use it for a few nights in a row to make a difference and do this until I've worked out how to best use it for me. Personally and for customer service purposes, I think it should be free p&p, this surprisingly does make a difference between buying and not for some people. All in all i would highly recommend.Purchased in August 2019 at Osmo patch for $5.00.
It's What I expected.
I've had bursitis since 2008, this product works so great, the pain is gone, inflammation subsiding slowly. Will continue to use, I've got a good feeling.

Useless and forget about getting a refund as they advertise.. AVOID
I bought my first pack from the pharmacist and also a sling to support my shoulder bursitus to prevent aggravation of the inflamed bursa. Nothing.. but all for giving something a second chance, I bought 2 more boxes on the Internet and again used according to instructions. in the final few days, used them during the day as well. Nothing!
I then sent them an email, giving them the entire story and included my receipts. Have heard nothing!!

Hello there,
Firstly I am very sorry to hear that the OSMO Patch was unable to help you. ...
Read more While the OSMO patch works well for many people, as with any treatment there will always be some people that regretfully our patches won’t help. There could be a few reasons for this, such as; not adequately resting the injury and continuing to induce repeated stress, the patches could have been incorrectly applied or the injury has become very chronic resulting in some scar tissue forming over the area that’s obstructing the drainage process or continuing to cause flare-ups. Whatever the reason we do appreciate that such a situation is very upsetting which is the reason we put together our No Questions asked Guarantee, which as per our return policy is exclusive to customers that purchase directly from our website. When purchasing from an independent retailers we recommend contacting the store directly to check their individual store refund policy. Please note that we do have arrangements in place with many approved independent retailers that now allows them to also extend this money back offer. Please understand that we can not enforce this, however most store are happy to do accommodate and match this offer. Furthermore, while it is best to contact the store directly in such a situation, we shall still be happy to do this on your behalf if you prefer. Also just to let you know that I have had quick look through our email logs and I could not locate your correspondence based on the information in this review. I am not sure if you had the correct email address or if your email has accidentally been filtered into our spam box as we do not open attachments. None the less if you email me directly at sales@osmopatch.com I can certainly look into this for you and hopefully providing some resolve. I look forward to receiving your email.

Hi Philippa,
Thanks for contacting me at customer care....
Read more Regretfully as I thought your email had accidentally been filtered into our spam box which was probably due to the attachments. We do apologize for this and we have now implemented an update to the frequency that we check our spam box. That said I am very happy to hear that Daniel was able to help you contact the stores where you made your purchases from in order to arrange a refund in each case. You will be also glad to know that the stores have both confirmed that your refund has now been issued. While Daniel was fortunately able to help in this situation, it is important to understand that a store would normally not provide a refund in a situation where a customer made the choice to continue purchasing additional boxes after finding that the original purchase did not help. However I am glad that Daniel was able to help you on this occasion. Once again I am so sorry that our patches were not able to help you and we hope that your are able to find relief elsewhere. Wishing you and your family good health. Kind Regards Jordan (Customer Care)Yes, someone contacted me from Osmopatch and agreed to contact both my suppliers to request a refund for me. I have now received both refunds.
A pity though that it took my posting a negative review here to initiate a response to my two emails.

Helped hip pain.
I had 2 falls in 4 days - 1 on concrete & 1 on hard soil in the garden. I fell onto my hip which I had surgery on 3 months prior to the first fall & have had a lot of pain since. Used Osmo Patch last night and feel more comfortable this morning. My only grumble is that the powder is very hard to keep flat when attaching it to your body - it did gravitate to the lower part of the patch. It's a pity the scientists can't come up with a different formula for the patch contents - i.e, a gel type substance that stays where it should. My patch was black this morning.

increased pain with hip bursitis
I also tried this product on my hip and it increased the pain. Unfortunately I had just had a cortisone injection, so I have no idea if the pain was caused by the patch or the injection or interaction of both. I emailed the company for more information and in their response they recommended waiting for at least 7 days after a cortisone injections. Also:
Stop all exercise (including stretching) on the affected joint.
Do not lift anything heavy
Do not massage or probe the affected joint
Avoid placing pressure on the area (do not sleep on that...

OMG!!! These are now a part of my life...
I have a bursitis in my left hip.. And after sleeping 1 to 2 hrs a night I had to do something. No other pain relief worked.. I put one on my hip the first night and it helped. But I knew it would take more than one night for them to work.. So after a week and no pain my wife suggested I put it on the sole of my foot... WELL.... I haven’t looked back.. would recommend these to anyone that could benefit...

Osmo delivered me a good night's sleep
I had the worst pain in my knee - I couldn't sleep - it just ached and ached. A friend said I must have Bursitis and as I had never heard of Bursitis I came home and "googled" it and found the magic Osmo Patches. I found a chemist and bought my first packet. I used a patch every night for 10 nights and the pain has never returned to that knee. I have asked my local chemist to stock Osmo Patches and told the Chemist how good they were and have recommended them to all my friends. I even carry the little leaflet in my bag to give them to peop...
Read morele. Now I have that awful Plantar Fasciitis in my other knee and foot and I get relief with my Osmo Patches. I cannot praise them enough and when I go to my chemist and he is out of stock (because he said they are walking out the door) I ask him if he has ordered more. Thank you OSMOOsmo Patch - useless or a bad batch?
I bought a 10 patch box at the pharmacy, the pharmacist said he had heard good reviews from customers. I followed the instructions to a T, applied patch to shoulder bursitis in slightly different positions each night. Also bought a sling to immobilise the shoulder joint. Absolutely no change after 10 days. I will try another packet to give it a chance, but after that will request a complete refund.

Hi, I have bursitis in the inner hip and get the pain predominantly in my groin. Can I put the Osmo patch on my groin or does it need to be on the hip. Thanks

Charmaine I wouldn't waste money on this product. I got nó result nor relief from these patches.
Toky J.Osmo Patch
Hello Charmaine,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Whilst our patches can be used on different types of hip bursitis, the results can vary from person to person as many individuals carry excess weight in this area. That said many people have seen very good results and the patches are also able to induce healing by increasing blood flow to the area.
Please remember that there may be underlying causes that continue to set off the condition, such as inflammatory disease (arthritis for example) and excessive or repetitive strain to the area just to name a few. Our Patches are a natural alternative treatment option to the current invasive treatment options that exist. They are intended to help the area heal by naturally draining the excess fluids as well as promoting blood flow to the area.
Assuming that there is no underlying inflammatory disease or scarring, it will then be up to the person being treated to adequately rest the area and to identify and if possible avoid the cause.
The patches are worn during the night and discarded in the morning (single use). Usually one patch is worn each night (approx 8-10 hrs) over the affected area, although more than one may be worn if required. That said the patches are not suitable for application in certain areas of the body, in particular you should be mindful that the patches should not be worn over or close to any genital area.
The patches should be used each consecutive night while you feel that you are improving. If you get to a level that you are not completely healed and your improvement has plateaued then you can consider stopping using the patches and keep the balance there in case there is a flare up.
It is impossible to answer honestly how many patches you shall need as everyone's condition is different. Some of our customers find total relief from 1 or 2 boxes of 10 packs and we also do have several customers with chronic bursitis that use the patches for temporary pain relief on a need to basis as they have underlying conditions that continue to cause flare-ups.
I hope this information has been helpful and should you decide to try our patches I do hope that they will offer you some relief.
Wishing you and your family good health.
Kind Regards
Jordan

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I have bought the patches and have noticed a difference especially when I do repetitive bending over. Now I don't have the pain I had it's a mild discomfort. But just wondered about the groin part I have been putting the patch on my hip. But definitely have noticed a big difference with what I was going through before. I have noticed though that when I take the patch off it is still dry is that normal. I thought that if it was draining fluid out it would be damp or something.

Toky J.Osmo Patch
Hello Bruce,
Thanks for your enquiry.
The patches are worn during the night and discarded in the morning (single use). Usually one patch is worn each night (approx 8-10hrs) over the affected area, although more than one may be worn if required.
It is impossible to know honestly how many patches you shall need as everybody's condition is different. Some of our customers find total relief from 1 or 2 boxes of 10 packs and we also do have several customers with chronic conditions that use the patches for temporary pain relief on a need to basis as they have underlying conditions that continue to cause flare-ups’.
Basically the patches should be used each consecutive day while you feel that you are improving. If you get to a level that you are not completely healed and your improvement has plateaued then you can consider stopping using the patches and keep the balance there in case there is a flare up.
Also if the injury is caused by repetitive stress, or a repetitive activity is stopping the injury from healing, then it is best to try and avoid performing those tasks or correct the body mechanics when you do.
- Use sound ergonomic equipment and setups.
- Ensure you stay within the comfortable range of motion of the joint.
- Keep muscular control over the entire motion being performed. Do not let things just flop around.
- Do not stress the joint with particularly heavy or unbalanced loads.
- Avoid side loading the joint. In other words keep the motion of the limbs in line with each other.
- Do not place a static load on the area of concern. Keep things moving. Even sitting for a while places a static load somewhere.
- Cushion the joint when possible. Use knee pads when kneeling and other pads on shoulders when carrying loads on them.
In addition please read the following suggestions below and hopefully one or more of them may help;
Stop all exercise (including stretching) on the affected joint.
Do not lift anything heavy with your arm
Do not massage or probe the affected joint
Avoid placing pressure on the area (do not sleep on that side)
Do not ice the area if the injury is more than 3 days old but instead use try warm heat (assuming there is no infection)
Do not apply any cream or oils before using the patches
Ensure that the patch is applied firmly against the skin with no air pockets.
I hope that this information has been helpful and wish you and your family good health.
Kind Regards
