I think the website has a $1.00 coupon.

http://www.aspercreme.com/

For applying to the feet... apply to the TOPS of the feet and up the ankle front, left and right. The back has thick skin and the lidocaine may not penetrate. Same for the bottoms of the feet.

The sides and backs of the knees are an alternate spot to try.

You'll just have to try one night one location. And the next do the second location. And compare.

I find it lasts 2 days for me, then I get a bit of rebound.
rub it in well, so it doesn't come off on the bedding, or clothing.

I'd like to remind people that this new lotion/cream by Aspercreme is not approved for covering large areas of the body.

It comes in a small size for a reason. Lidocaine is a strong drug and this product has warnings on the label. So please read them.

I find that this lidocaine lasts for me at least 2 days. So you can rotate sites each day so if you have more than one location that needs it.

I've not had much luck with lidocain in any form including the patches. I get much better results with menthol which is a topical analgesic and inexpensive to boot.

What is menthol? Is there a name brand?

Menthol is the active ingredient in Biofreeze and other over the counter topical creams for muscle aches and pains. I like a product called Relief from Corganics. It has less menthol than Biofreeze. I often have to mix the biofreeze with a carrier to cut the 4% menthol down a little. My body likes 2.5% menthol.

Default I love this creme!

I just tried the aspercreme with lidocaine cream last night for the burning and it worked great! The relief lasted all night for everything except a slight muscle pulling that began in one leg. It had been more then 6 hours so I applied a little more to the one spot and it was gone until morning. I am going to try to only use this product when absolutely necessary so hopefully it will continue to work.
