Many pain patches: It depends which stick on pad you are referring to. Lidoderm many times works well for localized pain. I'd you have diffuse muscle pain, it may not work well. Compounding pharmacies now add stick on gabapentin, ketamine, diclofenate, tetracaine for localized pain with less systemic toxicity. Remember any patch has medications that have some absorption in the body which can cause side effects
