Chronic Leg Pain

Updated

Does anyone here have chronic muscle ache/pain, especially in legs? And have taken Lyrica for that pain?

Lyrica will only help with some types of nerve pain. It is an anticonvulsant that works on the synapses and neural pathways in the brain.

Thus, it really depends on what is causing such pain. If it is due to some muscular condition and not nerve damage, then it may not help.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, mood swings and weight gain.

Did your doctor prescribe this?

Yes, was given samples to try but had to stop using b/c of side effects, i.e. dizzy, nerves.
