My 88 year old mother has been given some Lidoderm patches for when her arthritic knee flares up. It seems to help the pain on a temporary basis, but because the knee is a flexible joint, it is hard to keep in place. This was a trial run to see if it might augment the oral pain medication she is on. They are pretty pricey, but there are no side effects linked to the liver or kidneys, so that is good. We are going to continue using the patches for when the pain is especially severe and re-evaluate with the doctor during our next visit. It might be better suited to other parts of the body.
