Has anyone tried Lidoderm patches and do they help?!


Question: Has anyone tried Lidoderm patches and do they help!?
I have severe osteoarthritis, I was given samples of Lidoderm patches for the pain!.
What I would like to know is if they really work!? I have tried to use them but they don't stay were I need them most which the the lower mid part of my back, so I just want to know before I fight with these boogers anymore if they work because I really don't want to fuss with them in vain!.
I am supposed to use them 12hr on and 12 off, but uhh they don't stick long enough for me to tell if they work! Longest has been maybe an hour!?

Still hurting and hardly any sleep in many days!.!.!.it's 345am est!.

Not insane or suicidal yet, if I don't find help soon I can't guarantee how much longer I can deal with this! Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have a friend who has had two MAJOR back surgeries, and she is having success with Lidoderm!.

There are Ace Bandages and gauze bandages that athletes and others use to wrap ankles, knees, etc!. The bandages come in different sizes, and some are made to fit around your waist for back problems!. That may not help you tonight, but you can get these bandages in almost any drugstore!. A pharmacist might have other suggestions for holding the patches in place!. I hope this helps!.

If you are still having problems, send me an email!. My friend may have other suggestions for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
