"the brand, lidoderm patch, worked wonders for my post-surgical neuropathy on the site of the scar. the patch stayed in place and relieved the worst of the pain. however, when i was forced to use the generic, it was awful! the backing on the patch was almost impossible to get off. when we finally did, the patch rolled up in a ball. when trying to apply this mess, it would not stay put. it came off within minutes of application. it was a waste of money"
