I’m currently in the process of trying to get 5% lidocaine patches, for nerve pain, in my feet. My insurance won’t allow me to get them. My dr is on 3rd appeal. I don’t get it, they don’t cost a fortune. Does anyone know what to do, if they deny the 3rd appeal?

I use over the counter salon pas pain patches on my sore feet spots and they do help.
You get 60 patches for about $10.00 and I apply them on my foot areas that hurt me.
They last about 7-8 hrs, and they really help when I’m in so much pain I can’t walk.
I have fibromyalgia and lumbar stenosis that causes peripheral neuropathy
I buy on Amazon “ THAT STUFF FOR PAIN”
It really helps to downgrade pain reception
It might work for you
I spray my hands then rub into area of pain
Good luck
I’ve used Voltarin gel & it used to be by RX only but now it’s OTC and I just use the size of a nickel amount on the nerve track & rub it in a few minutes.
Within 15-20 minutes, the burn is half of what it was.

Hi!
Have you considered the 5% ointment instead of the patches? Maybe they could approve that instead? It’s very helpful.
