Lidoderm Pain Patch - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone ever tried these? The patches are by prescription only and come 30 to a box, individually wrapped. They're on the same idea as ThermaCare and BenGay patches, but stronger. Without insurance, a box costs $250, but my co-pay was $3.

I'm using them for the first time in a while. They can't be left on for more than 12 hours, and I want to sleep late tomorrow. I'm kind of excited, but a little nervous. I hear they work very well. They have Lidocaine in them, which is an anesthetic. My husband is going to put one of each side of my upper back. Those BenGay patches were getting expensive.

I hope they work well for you Janice.

You don't deserve the pain you have had to deal with. Hopefully the patches will get rid of, or at least reduce the amount of pain. Good luck.

I hope they work for you Janice. You don't deserve all that pain.
