TheraCare Pain Relief Patch | 4% Lidocaine Patch | 3.9” x 5.5” | 5-Count Box

Theracare Pain Relief Patch works wonders. I have severe aches on my shoulders and I use Theracare patches to alleviate the pain. It works fast and the lidocaine lasts long. The patches are very thin and it doesn't irritate my skin. I was surprised the patches weren't sticky.

The patches are 4 x 51/2 inches and 4% lidocaine. They stay on well and actually work as well if not better than W brand, in my opinion. They are less expensive too. No skin irrational either, which was a concern. I use them at night and they stay on all night. I have noticed that my knee pain is not waking me up at night as often. In combination with my medication they give that little bit extra pain relief at nightI was looking for. I would recommend.

Because that's the level of adhesion these have. Don't get me wrong, the patches do exactly as they say. Pretty fast pain relief for nerve damage/muscle pain, but unlike say Aspercreme's brand, with their almost impossible to remove adhesion, these slush off over time with no assistance from the wearer at all. I typically slap a patch on my back after work as I have some lower back pain sustained from poor form using a rowing machine, stupid thing, and I found that these patches work like a heaven sent angel, but not the old testament kind. They hit you with a frosty feeling at first, numbing the entire area, and keeping it that way without any discomfort. Even if I have to go the rest of my life using these, I will gladly take it over living with the pain I had before. That said, they last up to 12 hours so I wear it to bed and find that these in particular will rub off and bunch up while I nap, probably because I'm tossing and turning, unlike the Aspercreme ones which do not come off unless you pull them off like a true band-aid. So either you can take the risk of these coming off on their own and pay a bit less than you would for the Aspercreme ones, or you can fork over more dough for the brand name and be ensured of the adhesion. The choice is yours.

It works well to relieve pain. Works on Multiple Sclerosis pain which can be difficult to find relief.

IT came quickly (2 days), same medicine, same results (good), and same price as name brand.
