Re: Lidocaine Patch/Cream Hi Sara,
I have Osteo & Rheumatoid. The Osteo is so bad in both knees that I need TKR's & don't know to what extent the Rheumatoid is there. I have been using the Lidoderm pain patches since May this year on both my knees. When you hurt so bad that you feel like you are going crazy anything at all is welcomed to decrease the pain (that is with taking many medications). It helps with the pain outwardly in my knees but not the deep pain. It helps me enough that I wear them EVERY day for 14-16 hrs (approved by my Rheumie).
Take Care
