Hello! I m a 67 year old woman suffering from chronic pain, and fibromyalgia, both types of arthritis. I have back issues where I have 5 discs without moisutre in them ... and the list goes on. I m taking 10 - 325 hydrocodone daily (4 tabs) and they are becoming less and less effective. I ve had the radio frequentcy done several times, injections, and any type of over (heck I don t even need to over do anything really!) to have this consttant pain. Today in the mail I received several boxes of Lidocaine USP 5% OINTMENT ... is this going to help any of the chronic pain .... ???? Sincere Thanks, Marsha
