Does anyone use the Lidoderm patches? Do they work for you?

I've been using them for years along with Fentanyl in a pump and morphine. They all have their uses. I have a posterior fusion from C3-C7 and anterior fusion C4-5. The rods in the back of my neck and my shoulders get very painful at times and the lidoderm patches tend to take the edge off quite well.
I use 2-3 patches at a time 12 hours on 12 hours off. No side effects. Good luck.

Good afternoon. I started using the Lidoderm Patches when I was in the hospital after my falling accident-3yrs today.Resulting in a T-3 incomplete . Have rods in my back and I didn't find any use for them untill about 1 1/2 ago when I got feeling and sensation back in my back. I use them 12 on and 12 hours off but I think they work best when I use to help me sleep.
