I can't wait until Wednesday!

I just read the box. It doesn't say anything about putting it on any place special. I have bumps where it had been on last week, on Saturday. It is still a little sore too, the arm I have it on right now hurts to be pretty lightly touched. I don't know that I want to put it on my right thigh since it is already pretty tender from the pinched nerve in my back.

@DaddyEvil I already know I have an adhesive allergy. It is made worse by putting the adhesive on the same place over and over. I've been using the patch since early July back and forth to the upper arm. I was hoping by shifting it around I'd prevent a reaction. I've managed to postpone it this long. The reaction happens when the adhesive is on 'soft' skin. I wore a bandaid, many actually, for over a serious cut on my finger for months without a problem.

@ElicBxn If the bumps are an allergic reaction, you should talk to your doctor/nurse, anyway. You could be having a reaction to the medicine itself and not the adhesive. (You could also try using Cortaid/cortisone cream on the bumps and see if that helps clear them up. That's what I use on inflamed skin from allergies.)

I tried a pain patch many years ago and I did not like how it made me feel. It was awful, but it didn't make me itch, because I had it on for less than a week.

@id_peace yeah, I agree, but when we are dealing with someone with a known reaction to adhesives, you kind of have to go with that first. I moved it down to my left thigh and, besides trying to peel because I rather stupidly wore shorts one day and that seem to have rubbed the bottom of the over adhesive pad. Last Tuesday night and most the day Wednesday, until I took it off, my arm there was hard and painful, not unlike a bad shot. And there were a few itchy spots. On the other arm, there was still a small spot that was hard and painful but it is gone now. The arm I was hurting so bad on last week just has one of those... like a memory of a pain. I'll put it on the other thigh this week.

@ElicBxn Sometimes medical plaster also caused itchiness.

The medicine patch itself is tiny, it is all the stuff to keep the patch on for a week is where I believe I'm having trouble.

There really isn't much. All the pills have corn starch and according to my cardiologist there really isn't anything else. It isn't the actual medication patch, it seems, it is the adhesive I'm having to use to keep it from falling off. Yes, the patch also has adhesive, but it is nothing compared to all the stuff I'm having to use to keep it on. The medicated patch itself is tiny.
