Yes, my doctor just prescribed them today. I have pain on top of the foot fm big & 2nd toe to ankle (just the foot, not into ankle)- sudden electric shock raw nerve pain w/ movement- no bone issues. Not sure of exact cause, but I do have RA & that does nasty things all over the body, altho it's usually both sides & not just one. Doc said will prob have to have surgery, but we are trying the patches & orthotics 1st to see if it helps.
As to if the Lidoderm patches help, I can't answer that one yet. They were $273 a box- something to think abt depending on your insurance situation & what is causing your pain. At least discuss it w/ your doc.
My son was presribed these patches following spinal surgery. So I guess yes but would only suggest that they are used following advise from your surgeon, GP or pain clinic.
Relief of from muscle aches and pain but usually prescribed for the after-pain of shingles. Do not use if you have an irregular heartbeat and/or taking medication for it.
No, it does not. It only numbs the pain temporarily.
There is no fentanyl in a lidocaine patch. It is a lidocaine patch not a fentanyl patch.
I think it may cause problems while taking Naproxen while having a Lidocaine patch on.
The lidocaine patch is composed of an adhesive material containing 5% lidocaine that is applied to a polyester felt backing
Hope so! My doctor just prescribed the two for me
Lidocaine is not morphine. They are two different compounds, though both of them are analgesics.
The lidocaine patch may have rare negative interactions with digoxin (Lanoxin) or any medications for irregular heartbeats. Some antibiotics, antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may adversely react with the lidocaine patch
Lidocaine may not be suitable for persons who have had a past reaction to any local anesthetic. Patients should discuss past adverse reactions to anesthetics with their physician before using the lidocaine patch
Duration and potency will be affected . Better safe than sorry.
can you use lidocaine patches to keep fentyanyl patches one
I am a diabetic who also came down with cancer that damaged my back. My pain doctor gave me lidocaine patches for my back and they didn't have a bad reaction. He must have thought it was OK.
It is not recommended to.
It is not advised as tramadol and lidocaine both lower the seizure threshold making one more prone to seizures.
