Pain patch help

Posted by spicelotus @spicelotus, 23 hours ago

Does anyone have a method or some tips for putting a pain patch on your back when you live alone. I have messed up so often where it gets stuck to itself ir my fingers. I manage to get it somewhat unfolded and placed but very haphazardly and not totally where I would like it. The area is on my left lower back near my spine. Thank you.

I have my husband help me, but when not available I use a lidocaine cream or arthritis pain relief gel. It’s a NSAID but used topically it’s safe.
