great to hear! It worked for me too, I had general pain (which went away with amitriptyline) but the pain with touch was only controlled with LYRICA. In fact, I even had surgery on the affected area without extra pain afterwards.
I'm weaning off from 300 to 100 now, but unfortunately because I still get cysts in the painful area I might not be able to quit it.
I might ask my pain consultant about SFN tomorrow because my symptoms are still odd...I NEVER had burning..number one symptom was buzzing !
