Someone with chronic knee pain that used to flare up for weeks tried patches starting in January. Since then, they've had only one brief flare-up lasting two to three days, much less intense than before.

I had had a knee injury many years before that would flare up every once in a while. And when it flared up, it would last, it would be very painful. It would limit my mobility a lot for even up to months. And that had happened the summer before this last summer, so '22. And I had just been in pain for almost the whole summer. And it finally cleared up with— I don't really know what happened, but it just cleared up. And so, and that would just happen every so often. And so I was super interested to see if maybe the patching would help with that and help keep me from having flare-ups, or if they did happen, if it would maybe make them last less, make them shorten, shorten the time that they lasted. So since January, I've only had one flare-up, and it was like 2 or 3 days, and it wasn't nearly as intense as it had been before.
