Neuropathic Pain
"Watson/Actavis (now Teva) Lidocaine 5% pain patches have been very helpful in dulling the shingles-like pain that I live with 24/7.  As noted above, when you hit 65 you are out of luck because that&#039;s when the FDA approval for only one usage is enforced.  To purchase these without insurance will cost as much or more as my monthly Social Security &quot;income.&quot;  Age discrimination, plain and simple.  I will continue to fight to get the only topical pain relief that is effective and doesn&#039;t cause a rash."
