Its been a while since I posted anything. I am on Lyrica 3 times a day. I helps a little. I am also on 500 mg of Naproson 2 times a day then another pain medication tamadol 50 mg. Most of the time I am so dopey I have trouble functioning. I am still able to work. I'm a retired teacher but now a teacher's assistant. I am 67. I have to be very careful about what I eat or drink. Nothing cold or hot. I had an appointment with a neurologist but we had an ice and snow storm and had to cancel the appointment. It will be another month before he can see me. I just hope he knows what he is doing. Sometimes the pain breaks through all the medication. It is so bad that I think I will have a stroke. One spasm lasted 45 minutes. It was horrible. It helps to read the other posts.
