I don't remember it working well BUT I DO REMEMBER applying the patch (as well as other times a Lidocaine patch) and neither worked well on my foot (site of initial trauma). Putting the patch on my foot was ok and felt uncomfortable until I got used to having something on my foot BUT the absolute worst part was the next day (or hours later) when I had to take off the patch. OMG! The pain brought tears to my eyes so just remember if you put any type of patch on you have to take it back off and the pain is horrible. I hope it works well for you. Best of luck. Let us know how it works for you.
