Lidocaine
"I tried the MYLAN 5% patches that the VA prescribes... and like other Vets, I can accurately report they are GARBAGE and don't stick to the skin.

I tried the topical cream... which was ok if in a pinch... but it's STICKY!  I have to cover both arms and both legs repeatedly so this wasn't necessarily a good fit for me.

FINALLY I was prescribed the QUALITEST brand of the 5% lidocaine patch through the VA and am VERY happy with the product.  The patches actually stick to my skin and stay put!  Of course, don't get them wet or do activities where you will sweat quite a bit or they will start peeling at the edges.  I'm just thankful they actually stay on.

I use them mostly at night when I'm falling asleep.  It helps SO SO SO much!!!"
