have bad lower leg pain and arms and hands have 5 doctors cant find out what it is on lyrica 400 mla a day and perc4 times day ben out of work it hurts to tipe this dont no wht to do any one out here have anything like this
Hi there, I suffer from the same symptoms and I take 300mg of Pregablin/Lyria twice a day. The night dose knocks me out so sleep pain free but wake up with a banging headache and pain. I'm not great during the day with the side effets but it's better then I was. I just do what I can and don't worry about the rest. try to keep active and keep pushing with the drs
did you find out what it is still look got my next mri today
It's called peripheral neuropathy. It's caused because I have been living with it for over 20yrs. The mediation I take doesn't help either but that is working for the HIV so better to treat the symptoms. The pregablin works to an extent but I suffer from a lot of side effects and I'm waiting for a prescription for lidocane patches which hopefully will help with some of the worst pain which is in my feet and knees. I take over the counter pain killers for the headaches and other pain which doesn't help that much but I don't want to take anything stronger as I get drowsy enough on what I'm taking now. I've had an mri scan and there was nothing unsual, just general wear and tear. I think it's something I'm going to have to live with, they have told me the medication is going to be trial and error until they find something that works. I would like to get off the painkillers. I'm not taking anywhere near the recommended dose but taking them everyday isn't going to help me in the long run. It's a horrible thing to have, no one can see your pain. I hope you get some answers from the mri. Have they said what maybe causing your pain?
