Hi Sunny, I have used 4% patches and then tried Uber Numb which is a 5% lidocaine cream purchased on Amazon which is easier to apply. It is relatively inexpensive and a little goes a long way.

Hello Helennicola, I am surprised that Amazon sells a 5% lidocaine product because I thought 5% was by prescription only. I wonder about the authenticity of this product. But as long as you are getting relief, that is a good thing.

My 5% prescription Lidocaine patches which, by the way, are extremely expensive, used to work so well but now, not as much so. Don't know why.

I am running way behind on the messages on connect so need to get caught up but don't know if I will be able to 4 days and then, there will be that many more new post so I may have to just start new and a fresh.

I wish you all the best take good care, Sunny flower. 😊
