The pain has subsided, but not completely gone, I do think it has helped a lot.

Hi and Welcome. I was on neurotin for years-3200 mg. and then was switched to Lyrica. I had same issues with both meds.
They did help with my nerve pain and other issues, but I made sure to keep hydrated. Never went anywhere without bottled water. Vary conscious of fiber intake. There is actually a fiber counter like a calorie counter. So that helped-making sure had lots of fiber, looking at fiber content of all founds and choosing the healthier -higher content. Also, there is a herbal tea called 'Smooth Move'
at the grocery store, in case of 'emergency'
Hope this helps, loretta
