Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Neuropathic pain: My husband got a sample of a " lidocaine " patch from his MDA Neurologist for this pain. It can be trimmed to fit any area (especially like around his bent toes or contracted ankle area where the pain is often unbearable). The patch is self adhesive, and he wears it for about 24 hrs (usually takes it off when it starts falling off during that time frame if the pain is gone). He only suffers the 'unbearable' neuralgia episodes once a month or so, and these patches are GREAT. He has decided not to take oral meds for the day-to-day pain at this time. Just a suggestion you can ask your doc about the Lidocaine self adhesive patch. in IN Quote
