Can I use Lidocaine patches on my back while pregnant?

Q: I’m almost 18 weeks pregnant and I’m having horrible back pain. I don’t necessarily think it’s a pregnancy related pain because I’ve suffered from back pain on and off for many years, but it’s so bad right now that I can hardly bend over. What’s worse is trying to actually get up once I do bend over.Anyway, I’ve used these Lidoderm patches in the past but need to know if they are safe to use while I’m pregnant. Any one know the answer?

A: Please call your doctor and ask them, they would want to know if you are considering using something like this and will guide you on if it’s appropriate given your specific condition. This is what your doctor gets paid to do. 🙂
