Re: RE: Does Any One Not Take RX patches

[Guest guest]

Just wondered for those who have tried the Salonpas patches, as I did way

back and worked some but don't now, have you tried Lidocaine patches, have to

ask for RX, but Rheumie gave them to me, I don't find them to work if in a big

big, flare, but my mom uses aslo, and NO I DID Not give them to her, for those

???, worried I am sharing, she has her own RX and she uses them with very good

results. Hope those hurting find relief or let up at the least.

Lighter days I hope. Sharon

The max doses on them is much higher than what the bottle says. You could find

max doses and go from there until you could see a doctor again. I don't want to

quote max doses in case I make a mistake. But I got by on a lot of Aleve and

Advil for a couple years.

I have the lidocaine patches. They work for some pain; but not the deep pain.

So the myofascial pain and the 'bone pain' they don't help. They seem to me to

take longer than the Salonpas to kick in. The other plus is that you don't

smell like moth balls when you wear them either. :-)
