No, not yet, but I have planned to get it. I have OA in my knees and I could really use some relief. it sounds very interesting and not too expensive either, so I'll give it a go!

Thought about using them, but my pain is widespread. From your experiences I guess my mind may be made up, don't try!

I have just finished the trial patch and I did notice a slight difference (how much of that was a placebo effect I don't know) but my daughter noticed a difference in my walking and I needed to stop less frequently. I have just bought a full month patch so I will see if it continues to make a difference. To be honest, any improvement (however small) is a bonus for me.

Am contemplating this. Is it worth it?

I have tried this, and found that its was like others have discovered not really helpful.
Has anyone tried Apos Therapy available from BUPA?

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!

Hello everyone,
Have you heard of Actipatch? It is an electromagnetic pulse therapy, aimed at relieving e.g. knee and joint pain and it has an anti-inflammatory effect too.
Please feel free to share your experiences on Actipatch or any similar treatment here.
All the best,
Marina
