Comment:
In my 50's, my knees are giving me a lot of trouble. I thought it was something torn,or maybe arthritus.Something internal. It seems the 5% lidoderm patch worked wonders.I can get up and down without the pain I was having. If this is supposed to be for topical applications only, I wonder why it works into my knee.

This has really helped me but the cost is killing me. My insurance only pays for generic drugs and this doesn't fit.
