Sometimes, I cut them longways, and put them down my forearm, while I type, or around my wrist. For the forearm TOS Carpel tunnel pain.
Life Savers!
If I go food shopping and hafto lift, or walk, my low back. On my neck, they'll actually prevent the tightness that causes headaches, and pain down the arm.
And, as I've said.

Don't underestimate Lidocaine or Flector patches.

Ironically, I've NEVER used an entire patch, all in one spot.

Hi asb,

I always wondered if I could cut lidoderm patches and how they would work cut. That is also very interesting about wetting a lidoderm patch to get the med in your system faster and that they stick better wet. I will have to try this some time in the future. Thanks for the info asb.
