Confused Mostly pain free, should I still be careful with arm?

Hi everyone,

I know I'm asking a LOT of questions!! lol But I'm nervous about resumes "normal" activities. So for so good with the Lyrica, no major side effects other than if I don't have 10 or more to commit to sleep I feel "drugged" for 2-3 hour upon waking. It is helping me with the a LOT of the pain. Though I still hurt just not at a 7-8 more like a 2-3 with spikes only to 5-7. My worry is that i should still be using caution with things like heavy lifting of major housecleaning. I still have weakness and loss of coordination. So I'm thinking its just covering up the pain, and its still there I just cant feel it. So my worry is exacerbating the pain or casing further injury if I do too much. Do you think it would be wise to still "take it easy"? Or should I be able to do things like housecleaning or play guitar or type with both hands at work, all of which have been impossible up to this point.
