I used the Lidoderm for 2 weeks on my Lateral femoral nerve pain. It worked in about 3 days. Then after 2 weeks, the nerve stopped firing so much and I got a remission.
The patches have to be placed in a "sweet spot"...and I found that over a main nerve path was best. Placed over an end point where you "feel" the pain, is not going to work, IMO.
I use anatomy charts to determine my placement now for my feet.
