Due to chronic pain, I have been using this patch for several weeks now, and it has helped me tremendously deal witht he never ending pain I deal with day in and day out. In the past I have had injections to relieve pain, and I was sceptical about this treatment but it works for me. Published: September 23, 2007 ::

I have intense pain in the C5-C7 region and the lidoderm patch helped to dull the pain to a managable level. Don't expect it to remove all pain, it won't do that, but it will give you relief enough to feel human again. Published: December 13, 2007 ::

The patch helped the pain along with other medication for my back and hip, due to a car accident. Overall, I think it worked pretty well. Published: December 15, 2007 ::

This has really helped me but the cost is killing me. My insurance only pays for generic drugs and this doesn't fit. Published: October 21, 2007 ::

Comment from: Mike, 45-54 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

In my 50's, my knees are giving me a lot of trouble. I thought it was something torn,or maybe arthritus.Something internal. It seems the 5% lidoderm patch worked wonders.I can get up and down without the pain I was having. If this is supposed to be for topical applications only, I wonder why it works into my knee.

I Have a very bad knee problem and when I used this patch for the first time in weeks I got a good night sleep without waking up in pain. Just be careful with side effects I became VERY drowsy and had to lay down for 1 hour I couldnt even stand up. But its great for pain. Published: December 25, 2007 ::
