Hello,

I'm new and have not read much. I have not seen any mention of 5 percent lidoderm patches. I use them and they help fairly well on my wrists. They are pricy though! Hope this helps someone, God knows we need all we can get.

Hi hoghunter and welcome to HW and the RA forum

Thanks for your suggestion - havent heard of this myself but then I havent used pain patches - yet, and I agree that we all need what we can get.

Thanks again,

Take care

Thanks for the info. My Rhuemy just moved me from Tramadol 4x a day. To 4x a day 7.5 vicodin. Even at that he doesn't give much(enough to take for 15 days a month 4x a day). Lord knows i could use all the help with my amnts of pain that I can get. thanks for the info. Heather
