Lidoderm - I would place at least 2 on the most painful area for up to 12 hours. It helps to google a map of the nerve path so that the lidocain gets absorbed more easily. A good place to start would be by placing one right over the top of your groin crease, a little off center toward the outer thigh. Another would be on the top of your foot. If you can try using Voltaren gel 3x during the first 12 hours of the day and then wear the patches for the other half (taking them off in the shower or tub) that might do start to help you. The combo worked best. Nothing takes it all away.. as I am sure you know but enough to take the pain grimace away and even giggle a little.
