I would not venture to say "cure". It is relieving symptoms only and that is called palliative. Many here have tried Lyrica, and found it wears off with time. (tolerance). Some cannot stand the side effects, and with time even depression and suicidal thoughts may occur. You may want to have some bone scans done in a few months since you take both gabapentin and Lyrica now. There can be calcium loss with some patients in the bones. So take it one day at a time, and let us know how your are doing say, in 3 months from now. Cooperate with your physician (who I think is very rare to give you high dose of both) and be monitored closely. And BTW anti-inflammatory drugs are useful for the PNs that are caused by inflammatory factors. Because YOURS is compressive or trauma related, does not mean others cannot benefit from anti-inflammatories at times. PNs vary from person to person and there are over 100 distinct causes.
