In early November, 2008, I was shocked when by chance I looked at my right elbow and saw that it had a swollen lump almost half the size of a tennis ball. I had no recollection of bumping it or otherwise causing damage to it and was really quite surprised because it was painless.   That afternoon I visited my local doctor who explained that it was a bursa and that it could be surgically drained but it would more than likely re-occur.  I asked what other alternatives there were and he replied that possibly a cortisone injection would help which I disregarded because it was mainly to reduce pain.

Like many others who have written to you, I used the internet to obtain as much information as I could regarding my condition and what treatments, if any, were available.   Among many various items of information, I found at your website which absolutely blew my mind and actually found hard to believe despite all the various testimonials which totally supported the product.  I subsequently contacted the suppliers by email to ascertain what the “landed” price would be to New Zealand and decided that it was more or less the same price as a visit to my doctor, SO, decided to “give it a go” and ordered the patches which were coming from Australia.

When the patches had not arrived in 15 days due to local postage problems, my doctor drained the bursa by needle but it re-filled within 3/4 days as he predicted.   Shortly afterwards, the patches arrived and were immediately used with my scepticism.  The morning after my 1st patch I could not believe my eyes as it was full and covered with similar coloured fluid as the doctor had removed by needle and the same thing happened on each of the next 3 days to the point that the bursa reduced to almost normal.  I have not had to use another patch since then and my elbow is back to normal and has not refilled in the past 9 days so I think I can safely presume the problem has been fixed.  I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone with similar problems.

Heel bursitis

Hi Toky, the patches are starting to offer relief for my son’s heel. He is finally looking on the bright side.

Over the past month, he has had 2 drainages, 2 cortisone shots, and referred to 2 different specialists. The end result was either an operation to shave the bone, reattach the tendon and be off his game for a season…..not his option.

So I started the patches on him that night. The next day relief was evident. We have used 6 so far and he can now feel the bone in his heel. It is still red, but nowhere as bad. Still tender, but not as painful.

Thank you so much.

Baker's cyst

Hi,

The Osmo patch definitely helps my baker’s cyst (behind my left knee)!

It is temporary, but the relief is enormous!

I use it every few weeks and the swelling and discomfort abate greatly!

Thank you

Baker's cyst

Thank you for your excellent product.

First use was fantastic and after five times it had solved my problem of my swollen and stiff knee. I ordered another batch just to keep some extras on hand because from now on, I won’t do without them.

I have already recommended them to several people that have had similar problems. Thanks again for your wonderful product. I’m very grateful for the OSMO Patches.

General Bursitis

Hi Toky,

I wish to say that I have found the patches to be a great benefit to me and have had more relief from them that I have had with any other treatment including 4 cortisone injections.

You are quite welcome to give my testimony to any prospective user and, if necessary, they can phone me personally on XXXXXXXXX.

Thanking you once again

Hip bursitis

Hi Toky,

I have received my patches and used one last night on my hip. It’s an absolute miracle!!

I have been suffering on and off for 3 years with Bursitis on my left hip. My GP has given me cortisone injections and anti-inflammatories, both of which have given some relief but not lasted and certainly not to this effect. I am due to have physio in the near future also.

I appreciate it has not cured the cause, but at least now I can work on that without the constant pain, and worse off all the lack of sleep.

A big thank you

Baker's cyst

Hello!

I am writing to sing your praises!  I am not kidding.  I was first diagnosed with a Baker’s cyst approximately three months ago.  The pain became increasingly intense, so I finally made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon.  He explained that the cyst was most likely the result from a torn meniscus and that I would require surgery.  In the meantime, my patches I had ordered arrived, so I had used five patches by the time I returned to the orthopedic surgeon for the follow up for my MTI.  He did NOT find a torn meniscus and was amazed at how much more range of motion I had in my knee.  He agreed “whatever is working, keep it up!” 

I am 62 years old, quite active, practice yoga and exercise daily.  I am currently planning to swim with the dolphins with my grandchildren next month instead of planning surgery, physical therapy, etc.  THANK YOU!!
