I would use them every day for at least a month.
I had a remission of my meralgia in my right thigh, after 14 days.
This drug works by blocking sodium channels in nerves. This interrupts the signals. If the nerve is over-firing it will eventually "forget" with time.
If there is pathology present...something compressing it, or invading it, a remission is less likely.
When I started the Lidoderms I never expected a remission...just symptom relief. So when it happened, I was very pleased. It also demonstrates that nerves may get confused and fail to stop firing...which I didn't know about at the time.
