there is no way lidocaine patches will make anything worse.

It is only lidocaine on the surface of the skin.

I used 3 a day on my left ankle and left them on for 24 hrs - not the 12 they recommend and not 1 bad thing ever happened to me.(except for my dog eating used ones!)


Tell him to try them - they won't hurt him at all. They won't take the pain away completely but may dull it a bit.

Peace and hope,
