Hi, I've been dealing with foot numbness and pain after a knee replacement surgery for the last 2 months. I had a EMG and it was determined that I had post tibal nerve damage. I have been using neurotin and it was being increased weekly because it wasn't helping enough. I am now on 800mg 3x a day and taking lycric 50mg at bedtime. I am feeling so much better. I still have the numbness and burning but it is not to a degree that I can't bear it most of the time.

I was wondering what kind of side effects I should be looking for with taking this amout of meds or is it not that much at all? I recall the doc saying that it was major dosage amount but I wasn't maxed out yet. What would be maxed out?

It has been a week since they added the lyrica and it was the turning point in making life so much more bearable. Will I reach tolerance with the lyrica and have to have that increased too?

I know, I might be rambling, but thanks for listening and any offers of advise or info will be appreciated.

Thanks Brenda
