Anyone using Lyrica for Fibro and back pain?
I'm a newby to this forum but I've had back surgery (very sucessful) on L 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and also have bulging and herineated disc on L 1-2 and 5-S1. Even though the fusion was hight sucessful I'm still having a lot of issues with the two untreated disc that are now taking a lot of stress. I also have RA and Fibro.
I reacently started taking Lyrica and as I ramp up the dosage I'm starting to see some positive effects. Is anyone else taking Lyrica? I'm intested in the dosing level and the positive results.
