A member asked:

Lidoderm patches good for neuropathic pain?? i don't really seem to get any benefit from them even using 3 patches at a time

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Cause of neuropathy? Other meds???? Doxipin cream 5% is very effective for some people. You need to work with your neurologist or other DR.
