@lioness I have never heard of the patches before. I have occasional backaches but not bothersome enough to do anything about them, yet. I do go to my gym three times a week and a few of the things I use I think are back-strengthening.
I wonder if they do those patches for hip bursitis. Mine is getting worse by the day so I am considering getting a cortisone injection again. If so I don't know if I want to go local or to Boston. I had them a number of times from a doctor in Boston and he always hit the spot, but up here I have had many that did not. I just really do not want another trip to Boston.
If you have a good Medicare supplement then you probably won't have to pay anything.
