Third trimester, almost to the finish line and terrible back pain! Is it safe to use the icy hot back patches?

    I used some bengay on my lower back and hips last night and dodnt get much relief. Doc said it was safe in moderation but i found it useless. Good luck to u!'

    It can't penetrate deep enough into your skin to cause much, but it's one of those things you don't want to use more than necessary. I use Biofreeze or their other Roll on you can get at CVS.

    I personally get more relief from a moist heating pad than icy hot.  Biofreeze has been good as well.  I hope you can find some relief.

    I use my heating pad for any aches and pains in my back and neck.

    Ask your doctor. Mine said no, and she's pretty lenient about things. She actually introduced me to this awesome icy hot alternative that I am conveniently forgetting the name of. Magsoothium! Just remembered. Hubby gives me backrubs with it or I put it on before a run and it's great.
