Lidoderm patches
Hi Woody
I use these patches for my Meralgia Paresthetica in my upper leg area. It was first given to my by a Neurologist (sp?) several yrs ago. It gave me a lot of relief from the pain, burning, cramping muscles and most of all the sensitivity to touch that I have with MP. I cannot stand the rubing of clothing or bedsheets against my left thigh and above the knee. The patch helps so much.
We were also sent a message by a person stating you can become immune to them and they suggested moving the patch around to different areas to avoid this happening. They also included a picture showing where they placed the patch for MP it was over the location of the nerve.
I also know of another person who used the patch on their back at night time to cope with the pain level of their spine. You are suppose to wear them for no longer than 12 hrs. a day.
I cut mine in 2 pieces and place them at different locations.
They are expensive it you do not have prescription coverage.
