Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 , I clean the area I'm going to put a Lidoderm patch on with soap and water, then rubbing alcohol as well. I agree that it does wonders for helping them stick, especially since they mostly go on my lower back area. However, when I try to put one on my shoulder, I have major issues. It's such a bendy area, that getting it on right and getting it to stay is a pain in the rear! You have to get the placement right on the first try, or it just won't stick right after that! I love my Lidoderm patches though, and they are a big help when the pain med just isn't enough. I have told my doctor that sometimes I'd like to have a " Lidoderm suit " , when my whole body hurts. There are times when I have them stuck all over. I still only use just the 3 allowed, but I have at least one of them cut up so I can stick it on many sore places. Do you just use yours on your back, or do you have other places you use them?
