Just wanted to point out that the patches and cream can offer different pain relief- a lidocaine patch can offer a bit more sometimes because it is a continuous transdermal infusion of the medication, rather than a one time application. So sometimes they can be more effective because of this.

Hi Wilbyfree,
That mixture sounds good....did your doctor help you with that? I may be going to a new pain doctor soon and I will ask him. Thanks.

I persisted and was told, "Well, I want to see what they feel like... on places..." Thirteen year old little brothers!

I've woken up before and had my boyfriend kind of look at me funny and had lidocaine patches attached to my head or face... they like to migrate in the night. One morning my cat was looking quite aggravated and she had one stuck to her fur- very undignified for a little kitty.

This was worth a good belly laugh!!! Thanks for this, especially the cat.

Just a reminder... when the patches come off, they still have alot of drug in them and can poison a child or pet.

Fold them over with sticky side touching to avoid any accidents.

Quote:

Even a used LIDODERM patch contains a large amount of lidocaine (at least 665 mg). The potential exists for a small child or a pet to suffer serious adverse effects from chewing or ingesting a new or used LIDODERM patch, although the risk with this formulation has not been evaluated. It is important for patients to store and dispose of LIDODERM out of the reach of children, pets and others. (See HANDLING AND DISPOSAL)

That was funny........but I just read somewhere on this lidocaine thread that the patch is dangerous for animals, or can be. I didn't know that.

But I agree...........the piece that I put on the top of my foot sits like glue. The ones on the bottom fall off. Someone else here said that they tape them together. I will try anything.
Take care everyone.:)
