Icy Hot Lidocaine Pain Relief Patches, Numb Aggravated Nerves with Max Strength Lidocaine 4% and Menthol 1%, Fast-Acting Pain Relief for Minor Pain, Backaches, Sprains and Strains, 5 ct.

I've tried nearly all the patches. When I hit the Icy Hot Max patches I was psyched. There's nothing better than lidocaine and menthol. It's by far the best out there in my opinion. I usually rub the affected area down with Icy Hot Max cream, let it dry then apply the patch. They are sticky, as much as most others. I always tape or wrap the patch so it doesn't accidentally take a break. Good stuff for the cash, it's easy to use and it helps stop the pain, most importantly. I put one on at night and I can still feel 'heat' from it in the morning. I wish they'd make the large patches in Max.

They’re a lifesaver and a nice addition to anyone’s first aid. Be mindful of Lidocaine patches, while they are effective, they can cause further skin irritation with uneven use. You’ll need to read the directions for these as they are but a percentage point lower than prescription lidocaine patches, and depending on the individual, your symptoms may be less than worthy of using these for long term use. But for me, I had upper back pain in a particular area and they work well for about 3 hours of use, then kinda fade out over the day. You’re not supposed to use more than 3-4 a day, so i’d go along with that. If after a few hours pain is returning, or it’s in a different area, it’s fine to take the one you have off and cover the prior area and new area, it’s all dependent on how painful it is, for me I was experiencing a numbness and itchiness in that part of my back. The icyhot formula has always worked, but lidocaine is a perfect addition to their standard formula. I’m satisfied to say the least, and a little peeling doesn’t bother me I assure you when the pain is relieved. But with that said, the adhesive is abysmally bad. They really need to work on that. I advise that you take as many fabrics as you can off that may collide with the product. You can also use a little surgical tape to help keep it on if you have some handy. Otherwise, keep pressing.

My wife appreciates these patches a lot. Non greasy, easy to take anywhere, very effective odorless and, stays put

They help with pain a few hours.

helps a lot sticks well

Got these for recurring, lower back spasms. In combination with laying on a heating pad, these were great. However, they do peel easily if you aren’t careful. I was also hoping that the cooling agent was a little bit stronger. But they definitely did help a bit.

I keep these in stock! These actually make a difference in my lower back pain right before I start my period. These stick and stay & I forget it's even there. ALSO, I had some shoulder and elbow pain from the row machine and slapped these on before bed & it actually helped alleviate some of the pain. Less than $10 for a pack of 5 is fine because they DO work and I don't use them all the time.
