Have you ever tried Lidocaine patches...Just wondering?

Missy,

I have them at home. My pain management doctor

recommended them. I only use them when I am in a bad

flare up due to the cost of these patches. But after

wearing them for 12 hours, they seem to work. I guess

I expected the area I put them on to go immediately

numb. HEE HEE, and it didn't. But eventually they do

work, they soak in your skin. And straight from my

doctor's mouth... " You wouldn't believe how far these

things can soak in... " So good luck if your thinking

about trying them.
