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.

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.

Where did you apply the crème. I followed Mrs. D's recommendation but did not get any relief, then I fudged and apply some to the bottom of my feet and it worked fine and is still working. Sorry, Mrs. D. I think the soles of my feet are the skinniest part of my body so maybe the nerves are closer because there is not much fat down there. LOL

I applied to the tops of my feet but there was a little left so I used that on the bottom of my feet too. Last night I tried on the side of my knees but it didn't work so well for me.

I do know the skin is thicker on the bottom of the feet and harder to absorb lotions. However, I had such good luck the 1st night I'd probably repeat the same areas again next time.

It's really an individual decision. Whatever or wherever works for you. There's no one right answer in my opinion.
