Lidoderms cannot penetrate thick body parts well.

They will work well on the tops of the feet, and wrists, fingers, etc...and the back. But going thru the muscle fat and fascia of the front of the abdomen or on the buttocks....they are far less effective if at all.

The ganglia along your spine are the best spots to intercept the pain signals for the trunk of the body, and lower back.
