Hi Woody.

I've been using the Lidoderm patches for several years as needed. My rheumatologist suggested them to me.

Can use up to three at night. I cut each one in half and use them on the top of my feet, knees, cervical spine area and shoulders.

Only complaint... sometimes lose their ability to adhere to my skin so I use some surgical tape.

Have a low/no pain day! Carly

PS For new users...cutting these will make your scissors sticky (need to be cleaned after each cutting)...so a separate pair of scissors just for the patches works well.
