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.

300mg for me!

Smile hi!i see this is your second post and i want to welcome you to the forum! my pm is an anesthesiologist as well, many are. i am on 300mg of Lyrica Daily and it has helped the sciatica in my left leg. it took awhile to adjust to the side effects. Silly i did and i have none to complain about except weight gain. Lyrica has really been a blessing to me. good luck and i hope you continue to seek and find pain relief. Jenny Smile
