Default Lyrica... Work well?

I have multi-level cervical degenerative disk disease, spinal canal cervical stenosis and cervical radiculopathy. I've had a pain level of 8 almost daily in the evenings for the last 6 mos. Dr recently switched me to Lyrica after being on Gabapentin for 5 yrs. I also had a spine injection over a week ago. Seemed to help at first but now the pain is returning. Lyrica has been helping somewhat although I haven't been taking it very long. Most of my internet research has shown people having bad experiences with Lyrica. After seeing about 7 Drs, I've reached my deductible on my insurance and am trying to decide whether to go with surgery or not.

Has anyone here had a good experience with Lyrica?
