September 19th 2015 - Actipatch
At the beginning of the week whilst watching tv 1 evening an advert came on for Actipatch, a new type of pain relief. I had never heard of it so went straight to google to find more information. I was disapointed to find sites in USA only......they I realised that my browser was set to .com and not .co.uk. LOL! So I sorted this and started searching again.
I found quite a lot of information on it and the review looked good, so I hunted for where I could buy it. The main Actipatch website had them on it and had an offer of a free 7day trial pack when you bought the full pack. And boots had it without the 7day trial for £5 cheaper so I ordered from boots and had to go and collect it mid week.
I didn't write about it straight away as there isn't much you can say - oh wait bought new knee pain relief, took out packaging and put it on! What a brilliant post that would have been.
Well I have had it on for 3days now day and night (they say you can and it wont cause problems). The biggest problem I have encountered so far is the holder that comes with it the velcro was digging into the back of my knee so I had to take it off and tape the device to my knee. This was better but the tape went tight today. So I took it off for a few hours.
At the moment I wouldn't like to say if it has helped or not. Most of the reviews said a week or 2 before pain relief was fully seen. I hope it helps, we will ave to wait and see.
