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.

Baker's cyst on both knees

I have been meaning to write you for some time now and tell you how great the OSMO patches have worked for me.

I have had Baker’s cysts over the past 4 years on both knees. My Orthopedic Specialist drained them numerous times, plus gave me cortisone shots. Researching the topic one day, I discovered your website and hesitantly ordered the patches… they work amazingly. There is such a difference when I wake up in the morning.

The fluid is drawn out and mobility is greatly improved. I will probably need surgery one day to repair torn cartilage in my knees, but these are greatly helping me with the swelling/fluid buildup like nothing else has before.

Thank you for developing such a wonderful product and for the prompt and efficient service. They are really helping me.

Knee Bursitis

Hello Jasmine,

I just wanted to say that my husband has been using the patches for a few days now and they have definitely made a difference to his knee.

I have brought some more from one of your UK stockists, The Health Workshop, and they, like you, could not have been more helpful.

Thank you!

Bursa in elbow

Thank you so much for your attention and immediate response to my e-mail.

About 9 months ago I slipped on a ladder and banged my elbow which resulted in a bursa sac; This was the first time ever, but about two months ago it happened again. Your patches worked great both times. They significantly reduced my recovery time.

Thanks again!

Knee problems

Many thanks Toky….

The patches were fab last time and it’s now been over 6 months since I have had to use them.

Alas, it seems my bursitis is back, so hence the need for the wonder patches……

I got a bit careless with kneeling on my knee, so all my fault

Baker's cyst

Hi there!

My mother had 20 patches, it made a lot of difference for her knee, she got a big relief out of it, she started bending her knee now after many years,

With best regards

Baker's cyst

Ok, I have an arthritic knee from playing American football and having an operation when I was 18. Going to a doctor to have it drained would cost me well over $220. I know that I will need to get this knee replaced sometime in the near future and you can only do this one time, so it is in my best interest to find a way to prolong the knee replacement.

I tried the OSMO Patch about 1-2 years ago, thinking it may be a gimmick, and it was no gimmick because it works. The pressure on my knee is lessened by morning and I can move around a lot better. I’m health conscious, watch what I eat, go to the gym 3-4 times a week and of course I work. It is important to be open to alternatives instead of the ‘give me a pill’ attitude that most of the public has. As individuals, we have to realize that we, not someone else, are the most interested in our own health.

Thank you

General Bursitis

Dear Toky I have used the 10 patches and I have felt significant improvement, albeit not a total cure at this point. But, the Radiologist did tell me my bursitis was as bad as the man who came off a motorbike and his is the worst case they have seen. Please note I have shared […]

Hip bursitis

Hi, My 81-year-old mother has been suffering from hip bursitis for several years.

She got some relief from regular corticosteroid injections. However, the last time she had this treatment, the injection was not carried out properly and she was in agony for several days. Consequently, she has been frightened to receive this treatment again, and the pain was getting progressively worse. She had not been sleeping and could not walk far.

I found the OSMO website and thought I’d give it a go. My mum has just completed the first course of 10 patches, and she has a completely new lease of life. It really is amazing how quickly this treatment has had an effect. She has been sleeping much better and walked further at the weekend than she has for many months. I have ordered a further 20 patches. Many thanks.
