What kind of patches are you talking about? I had a back/sciatica thing a few years ago and never heard of any patches for it, so I'm curious.

Solanpas Lidocaine or icy hot patches work.

I don't know about patches but Robax Gold is a tablet that is a combo of muscle relaxant (methocarbamol) and analgesic (ibuprofen). Works like a charm for me when I really do a number on myself (like lifting 40 pound bags of dog food). The rest of the time I take CBD. Before I started taking CBD regularly, I would take a Robax Gold every night which, apparently, isn't good for you long term. Come to think of it, neither is back pain but, whatever.

Medication and applying a heating device (can't recall the name of it) and physio in his office. Took a couple of sessions.

His cell number is 331 439 4859. He speaks good English. See this post from June 2018.... the second last post....

Dr Rabadan....
