I’ve been told that A skin patch called Lidoderm may help ease pain caused by knee osteoarthritis. Can this be alternative to Celebrex? Please, I’ll appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.

I think that the Lidoderm patch isn't approved for knee osteoarthritis pain. It's only been approved for treating pain from postherpetic neuralgia, a chronic condition resulting. Although I read somewhere that significant improvement can be achieved in case of knee osteoarthritis pain with both treatments Celebrex and Lidoderm patch. The active ingredient in the Lidoderm patch is the pain-numbing medication lidocaine and the patch is applied once daily.

Can I run long distances using a lidocaine 5% patch on my hip for pain? Should I have any concerns?
