I really have nothing good to say about
Lyrica besides when I did have burning
nerve pain it did take it away. I keep it on hand but havent had to take any for over 9months now. A suggestion I would make cause I was in your situation with chronic pain and I have addiction problems, is to look into a compounded pharmaceutical gel called KGCL(ketaminegabapentinclonidinelidocaine) it absolutely works miracles for my leg pain, from my ankles, knee, thigh, and bad hip pain.
