Yes, I agree... across the front of the ankle is a good spot.
I also use 1/2 patch behind the knee, just below the bend.
This however may numb the foot... so be careful with it, placed around the knee area.
I often use 1/2 patch on the top of the foot too, at times.
Lots of nerves there. If the foot is swollen, or discolored, I'd put the patches higher up. Pulling them off can do damage.
I had a patient who pulled off her Lidoderm too hastily and it bruised her whole upper arm.
I do not have RSD so I have not experienced that myself.
