Anyone try the Jovi patches for back pain?

Anyone find CBD oil more effective or less than Jovi patches? Herniated disc with sciatic pain.

I'm a little skeptical, mostly because all of the information I've found on the Jovi patch says it's undergone clinical studies that support it's use for pain relief but I can find zero research articles. They also say they have FDA approval but I wasn't able to find the FDA reference article. I did find this negative article written by a retired doctor.

I did a search of Connect for "herniated disc with sciatic pain" that might provide some other suggestions from other members if you want to look through the related discussions and comments - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/

Have you tried any of the medicated pain patches?

I currently am using the Butrans patch. I used it several years back while still employed and payed $100 a patch. Now has a generic so it’s covered. It works somewhat well. The morphine meds were destroying my liver and pancreas so I got off completely 3 years ago. Bulging disk and stenosis. The higher the dose of morphine the more I noticed my body requiring more. The patch does cause itching. When it’s removed it leaves what looks like a burn behind for couple weeks. It does help. I hope you find something that helps you.
