Unfortunately, no. Lidoderm (Lidocaine) is a topical patch that only works on the surface of the skin and just beneath. It may provide a little relief depending on the reason you take the vicodins. Try to get an emergency appointment with your doctor. Maybe he/she will be willing to help you out. I feel so bad for people in pain. You will get through this! Hang in there. And if worse comes to worse, go to the hospital. If you are able to get a printout from the pharmacy where your meds are filled, bring that with you to the hospital. They are there to help people, not make them feel even worse! I hope you get your meds in time... before withdrawal symptoms set in. I wish you well and good luck on finding the pain relief you need!
