Sandi,

Forgot to tell you about these great pain

patches, There pretty big. I have used them on my

back, abdomen , my right bottem butt, my leg pain

which was through the roof and can be with out proper

meds. any way there called Lidoderm Lidocain patch 5%

You can wear up to 3 and they last 12-24 hours. Pluse

about them.

Hugs, Tami
