I only use the Lidoderm patches when I have severe foot pain, which is not often anymore. But I have done so maybe once a month or two. Usually it knocks it out in one day.
I don't know if this is sesamoid inflammation flare or the PN pain. But I have used them on the instep, and once I went shopping with them on and that was a mistake. Now if I need them I use them at night and take off in the daytime.
I also use the Lidoderms behind the knee, esp the right one which tends to flare every once in a while.
