Hi detc,

Lidocaine 5% patches are also available in the US via Rx. I use them on my shoulder each night and they work. Not sure they would work as well on the knee, they are quite large. Also, insurance won't always approve these patches. In that case 4% patches are available OTC.

Hi Joe! You are always so good about exercising and recommendations. I use lidocaine 5% ointment which is covered by insurance when I’m not using the 4% patches also covered by insurance. The ointment gets into lots of places that I can’t maneuver with the patches. Regards and in good health, Lori
PS I just found a cream lotion that I like very much it’s made by Sagely naturals. They’re “circulation cream“ is super great with a kind of invigorating capsaciem, Arnica, Base and their extra strength cooling peppermint line is also good for clearing my sinuses and moisturizing and soothing pain in my hands and wrists. They have lots of roll lawns, bombs Creams, and lotions. I picked them up when they run sales like 40 or 50% off because it’s pricey it works as good as the Biofreeze used to work for me.
