[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 608880, member: 1233"] Salonpas is helpful at times but nothing near lidoderm for me. There are other decent OTC patches with either menthol or capsaicin (or both) that work pretty well. Salonpas is by far the least expensive of the OTC patches, at least here. I know some people who refused to try them because they were so inexpensive that "of course" they would not have enough of the active ingredient to work. Most of them were shocked at how well they really did work once they tried one. For those of you who need lidocaine for pain management but insurance won't cover the patches or you cannot tolerate them, there is a lidocaine gel that is very reasonably priced in the generic form, and easy to use. You have to be careful because as with anything it can cause harm if you use too much, but the package has a guide for measuring the amount and it is not difficult. It has been a cost effective alternative to the patches but it is not nearly as long lasting. [/QUOTE]
