Gabapentin and Lyrica both cause fluid retention in some people.
When feet swell, they can hurt from nerve compression.
When my left foot swells, (my old surgical foot), it aches. And my scar throbs. I haven't found my trigger yet for this, but using my laser pointer on it seems to fix it for a while until the next week or 2 and the swelling begins again. The doctor is stumped and just gives me a blank look. And two foot doctors just said, lymphathic blockage etc from the surgery?
I know is sounds strange, but my 5mWatt laser on it for about 10-15 minutes reduces the swelling. I discovered this when playing with my cats laser pointer toy, and so I bought a stronger one for my foot. Now they come and vie for it when they see me doing my foot while I watch some TV ! LOL
