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.

Excruciating pain of bursitis
Please pass on my eternal thanks for this product. I would like to say how wonderful the patches are. I am proof that they work. I am 80 years old and had the excruciating pain of bursitis for 10 days. I used up three boxes of painkillers to no avail. Then in desperation looked on […]

To whom it may concern,
Got my patches yesterday and skeptically put one on last night.
I woke up this morning astonished, pain gone, flexibility back.
Don’t know how you discovered this but thank you. I will be ordering more as needed.

Shoulder bursitis
Hi, Have been using the patches now for 6 days, just wanted to know how long to use them for. I imagined until the area no longer has any fluid on the patch, have had bursitis in shoulder for 5 weeks now, have had only a small relief so far, Cheers

Fluid on knees
We have purchased your patches for application on my husband’s knee. It certainly drained some fluid from his knees, giving some relief after one application.

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.

Bursa in elbow
Dear Toky,
My patches arrived on Feb. 10th. I have now used 9 of the patches, wearing one sometimes during the day.
I have noticed significant results, although there is still some swelling in the bursa in my left elbow.

Hip problems
Hi,
I have just started using OSMO patches on my hip and have had some significant relief after only two nights of use.
I was wondering if they could also work on a large ganglion on a wrist?
