I finally found out how to make a lidocaine patch stay where I put it! 🎉 …at least while I’m awake. I place it on my hip, (which is where I need it the most right now), then I hold my hand against it as I move around, sit down or lay down on the couch. Do this several times and it stays where I need it to.

Now, as for staying on my lower back, I haven’t a clue how that’s supposed to work because they pull away from my skin the second I bend over or stand up.

Try this - no patch needed! (mine slipped all over the place, too)

TYLENOL® PRECISE™ Maximum Strength 4% Lidocaine Pain Relieving Cream

I added the picture from the box because the roller balls give you nice message as you roll the cream into exactly where you want it! For me, it works great. Pinch the cap to open - easy gentle pinch not too hard to open.

I'm not in any way connected with produce except as a satisfied consumer!

How does it smell? I have Biofreeze, roller and spray, and the stuff has got quite the odor! I only use it when I have no plans on being out in public.

@see_the_sus

Odorless (for me - all things can react differently on different people's skin chemistry).

I always get "no scent" laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc. Cannot tolerate fragrances since I had a extremely bad migraine when in the hospital for surgery due to one of the medications! Since then - no fragrances (and this is terrible for a former Avon Lady)!

@Gladari

Thanks, I'll put the cream on my shopping list. 🙂
I too use fragrance-free laundry products but it's only because I see no reason to add "Fresh Burst," "Fresh Air," or "Fresh Blast" to the perfume I wear. A bit of an overload.
