They did not work for me, but I was Rx'd lidocaine patches to relieve pain. My roommate used them for back pain, but they didn't do much for her either but that doesn't mean it might not help for you.

As you know, I'm another unlucky one with on-going chronic pain and it get's old and very tiring.

Personally, I would try acupuncture if your Docs OK it. It's kept my 99-year old Grandmother mobile and still living on her own.

Good luck and thank for the support you have given me as well.
