Biofreeze is not pricey on Amazon:

It lasts a long time because you don't gob it on... it penetrates quickly so you don't need much at each application.

Also.... where did you apply the Lidoderms? How you use them and where to best get the results, is the best kept secret there is about this product.

I agree. You can also buy it on eBay or at a sports store, chiropractor (without having to see one), etc. You don't need much. Use it as directed.

I saw that a local drug store (Walgreens) has biofreeze for a couple dollars more in stock. I am going to give it a try

I use them for what I call my flare-ups. That is when the burning feels as though someone has placed a hot iron on my palms and the soles of my feet. I pay $40 for 180 patches through my insurance. I usually cut each patch into four pieces. I place 1 piece on each foot, directly below the toes. I do the same with my hands, directly below the fingers. Then I cover my hands with gloves that have the fingers removed, and cover my feet, if able, with a light pair of socks. If pain is really an issue, I only cut the patch in half to cover more surface area. I have worn the patches on my feet inside my work shoes and did not have trouble with them bunching up. It is whatever works on any given day. You just pull out your "bag of tricks" and keep digging till you find one that works. Good night, all!

I use the script with lido, gaba, con, also. This has helped alot for the PN I have. The lidoderm patch does smush around alot, you can't sleep with them. Thanks for the response. ginnie

I got a can of Biofreeze yesterday and it did help to take the burn in my feet down a couple of levels, I found that my feet were more sensitive to touch and are still tender today.
