Thanks for all your replies

I'm gonna take Lyrica for a few weeks more, but if it doesn't work i probably have to switch medication.I tried acupuncture in the past, but I didn't feel sufficient pain relief, perhaps because they were treating me for tennis elbow -maybe I should give it a try again.

I just hoped the Lyrica would work, because so many consider Lyrica a wonderdrug

As I was recently diagnosed with having a depression, I probably have to switch medication anyway to some antidepressants, as far as I know they can be pain relieving also.

You're right JoMar, besides taking medication; I regularly go to a physical therapist who also studies osteopathy, see a chiropractor, doing gentle stretches, taking a lot of supplements and using a TENS unit.
