I get the afford issue. It's crazy.

I use four Lidoderm patches a day to wrap my ankles, and they work wonders. But it is really outrageous what they cost. Through my insurance the four boxes I get each month are $30; without insurance I'd have to fork up $1040 to my CVS. Seriously.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I've started on Nucynta, which leaves me lease devastated than Vicodin. 100 mg at a time puts a dent into my pain, and leaves maybe 50% functioning.
