Tiger balm patch helped

[westynp]

Hi I 've been in a flare and I brought the tiger balm pain patches and they did help some. I put it on my lower back. Maybe it is the warming of the patch that at least distracts you for awhile. Anything that helps for the moment, hope it helps someone else too.

I've used them for my back and they work really well. Have never thought of them helping the bladder also so I'll give it a try.

I also use Tiger Balm pain patches, I use them nightly but put them over my bladder area... They help me alot as well.

What is in these and where do you get them?

[greeneyes]

The active ingredients
Camphor 80mg
Menthol 24mg
Capsicum extract 16 mg
all ingredients are topical analgesic. I found them at walgreens but walmart has them as well I got the large patches 5 for 6.99 but I cut them in half.

Thank you,
Is there any way any of that can get into your bladder transdermally? Has this caused pain for anyone?

I've got relief from them no pain.
