Lidocaine plasters

[Zita71]

Hi guys just looking for a wee bit of advice please I have been given versatis5% medicated plaster lidocaine patches have any of you guys used these how did you find them X X

I find they are best for me for that horrible hot burning in sensation I get on my back. Remember only 3 at one time and only for 12 hours to avoid skin irritation. I wouldn't be without mine.x😄

Hi Zita71

They are not something that I have used before but I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with them. I would say keep a list of any potential side effects ad let your doctor know if you have any, please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Not used this version of patches but trying out Voltarol plasters (not patches) keep them on 12 hours and you can sleep in these - but NOT shower or bathe! You can put them anywhere which is better than the bulky ones that you cannot cut to shape, I,ve got some coccyx pain and the patch serves 2 areas, low back muscle and coccyx area, let you know if they are good, although I have been booked for an MRI scan to look at whats going on.

Not heard of lidocaine patches. Had lidocaine infusion which did not help at all. Will ask pain management if can try this.

Hello everyone.

Yes, I use lidocaine patches, mainly for my wrists and thumbs. I then put my thumb/wrist splints over the top. Perfect.

I like them because they just go on the part that hurts. I just wish I could put them on my neck and lower back. Unfortunately my arms won't get round to that area, in fact my arms don't really go anywhere much!! LOL

Healing, soft hugs to you all.
