I was just given a script for Lyrica yesterday.

I have had so much pain since I got hit by the car. I really didn't want to start another med but I actually feel desperate. I take Cymbalta and Tramadol when needed. I also take R-Lipoic Acid, COQ10, B12, Krill Oil.

My pain level is about 8-9 everyday now. I was doing pretty good before. I even started PN.

I saw my neurologist yesterday and he suggested Lyrica. He said when people with PN get injured the can go into a flare up. He also said sometimes it calms back down and sometimes it doesn't.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Did it stop or not? I also have fibromyalgia with the SFN. Now some of my joints have swelled and are painful.

Anything you can share about accidents and/or Lyrica I would appreciate it.
