Lyrica knee pain

Common Questions and Answers about Lyrica knee pain

lyrica

Avatar f tn Neurontin caused weight gain and I became allergic to lyrica as well as gaining weight. In the past two years after stopping lyrica due to laryngeal edema, I lost 20 lbs. I also started a gluten free diet and dropped another 30lbs. I do much better without that extra 50 lbs. I'd rather deal with the pain than deal with excessive weight. I'd like them to concentrate on the cause of the neuropathy, nothing they have made any attempt at.
Avatar f tn While I was undiagnosed, I was on Neurontin for a couple of months and then tried Lyrica. I do think Lyrica relieved more pain, but it did cause me more side effects and in the end, I was not happy with the balance of relief vs. complications. Lyrica made me feel more dizzy and confused. For example, I would take my dose, and within minutes I wouldn't remember if I had taken it yet or not. That made me uncomfortable.
Avatar n tn I had my knee partiallly replaced on the inside of knee. Was in a lot of pain in bursa sac area and along incision. My ortho tried 3 injections and the nerve continued to intensely burn, twirl and I felt like something cold was running down the inside of my calf. I felt this 24-7. 1 month ago the Dr. reopened the incision and clipped the nerve. I am now experiencing not as intense burning but like their are more nerves being hot. Will this go away.?
Avatar f tn The nerve pain is HORRIBLE. I take Lyrica for pain but it is not helping. What can I do if anything?? Help!!!
Avatar f tn Does anyone know of something natural that helps relieve nerve pain? I have nerve damage from previous back injuries and cannot take the lyrica I was taking to control the pain. I've been managing as best as I can up until recently. My baby is sitting comfortable on a nerve which is not so comfortable for me and I can hardly move.
Avatar f tn I was back at work (desk job in FedGov) two weeks later, but the 24/7 pins/needles/weakness remained and I developed severe thalamic pain syndrome affecting my right fingers/hand/arm, right side of my face is VERY sensitive to even slight breeze, the right side of my scalp hurts when I take a shower under a very night water spray, and my right knee and foot cause pain, esp. the bottom of my foot feels like the skin/muscles are bowing out/away from my body.
432223 tn?1206549025 I have not taken Neurontin, but I have recently started taking Lyrica for nerve pain after neck surgery. I feel the Lyrica was like a miracle for me. My pain was cut at least in half and my quality of life has improved dramatically. I'm taking almost no narcotics now, so I have my sharp mind back. I have not yet had any side effects from the Lyrica, but of course everyone is different.
Avatar m tn Then started having testicular pain and sharp pain in the rectum (Urologist diagnosed rectum pain as pelvic floor problem and physical therapy has been helping the rectum pain only). At first they suspected I had low testosterone but now my levels are 700 and all my blood tests are normal. I have had MRI of brain, thoracic, sacrum, and lumbar. Only thing that showed up was L5-S1 degenerative disk disease and slight S1 compression but neurologists said it can't cause these symptoms.
Avatar f tn Hi. How are you? I have had knee surgery for osteoarthriis complicated by MRSA. I was very ill. Along with lots of antibiotics I've been on Advil to Tramadol for knee pain prior to the surgery, to Percocet post op to Dilaudid. currently. My last knee surgery was July12 Inotherwords I have a history of taking progressively stronger pain meds and opiates. After this last surgery I spent two weeks in an excellent rehab hospital.
Avatar n tn Hi, I started off taking 2 5/500mg vics a day 4 years ago after knee surgery, I went up to 5-6 pills a day and I just started tapering on Friday, I am now taking 4 per day, tomorrow will be 3, Monday none! I can't keep this up anymore, I have to quit.. i tried quitting before and the leg pain and anxiety were really bad. I now have Klonopin for the anxiety but what can I take to help with the body aches and leg pain? Thanks.. looking forward to getting clean.
Avatar f tn I had x-rays done and was told that my knee looked beautiful (structure-wise I guess) and that I probably had something called Femoral Pain Syndrome or Runner’s Knee. He recommended physical therapy, a knee brace, and said I should be fine in a few weeks. He also prescribed me a six-day dose down anti-inflammatory pack, even though I told him no swelling had ever occurred. I took my meds, went to physical therapy as instructed, and did my exercises religiously.
773646 tn?1239225659 I suffer the few days and go through nausea when I start taking them again. Ive seen commercials for drugs like lyrica etc or read about drugs that block nerve pain are these better for pain related to ms ? I need to keep moving even though I just feel like laying down. Work is really difficult for me but I have to keep working mainly because of health insurance.
Avatar m tn The following comes and goes not more than a few seconds muscle spasms in my feet, calves tingle all the way up to my knee, twitching over my entire body when at rest including eye twitching, real ache in both arms(this has improved since being on Lyrica), both hands tingle and numb some, thumb hurts sometimes when using it and NOT at all other times and the other thumb is beginning to hurt (the thumb issue really is worrying me), slight numbness in my cheek, ear and part of my head will tingle,
Avatar f tn Back pain for the most part is tolerable...the worst time I am having is with the horrible pain from my right knee down to the tips of my toes. Nerve problems apparently. I went for a Nerve Conduction test last week and was told that the L5 nerve has irritation. This pain is crazy! and moves around like nothing I have ever experienced.
Avatar n tn My Husband is now 28 years old and suffers from chronic pain in his left knee and hip. The pain started in February of 2007 and quickly became so bad he needs a cane to walk. He has weakness in his leg and it sometimes "gives out".
Avatar m tn The other knee I dislocated in HS sports when I was a senior. I am 45 now and I started having chronic knee pain in both knees about 3 months after the knee surgery. The pain has never gone away and I wear knees support braces daily. The past 2 weeks my left shoulder back and chest have started with pain also and then about a week ago my left elbow now has severe pain.
Avatar f tn I take 250mg 2x//day me and my Dr have done what you did, increase and decrease my dosage to find the MAX and mine was 250 2x/day any more than that I do not get any more releife and any less I have more pain.
20808045 tn?1516951885 My pain is continuing to increase as well as now I am having pain in my other knee, lower back, and hip. The dr just prescribed me lyrica and celbrex on top of the tramadol. I am scared as I am already showing signs of depression.

894326 tn?1279784085 ve been able to drastically taper off of the narcotics which were prescribed for my knee pain which was considerable. I had MRSA for almost 3 years. It is a vile, relentlesss staph infection that is extremely difficult to get rid of. The infection has continued to come back after multiple surgeries to get rid of it. It has wrecked my life. The ortho surgeon who did 4 operations finally got to the point that he did not have any more answers, so I changed doctors.
Avatar f tn i had total knee replacement three months ago,since then i have had severe pain very bad burning sensation it feels like someone has poured acid on my knee the scar area gets very sore and it feels hot to the touch with redness,i cant even stand for my clothes to touch it,it comes and goes every day,bending my leg backwards is extremely painful if i go to far up,in the beginning they did not realize a nerve was affected but for awhile they gave me percoset 10 or 20 ,it got to where i could contr
Avatar n tn For the last 7 weeks I've been suffering with awful back aches (lower & middle), pelvis & hip pain. I also often get a severe muscle ache in both flanks. One knee is swollen & I'm experiencing pain in the tendons around my elbows, knees & thumb. I'm currently on NSAIs but they don't seem to be helping. I just feel awful (oh, and when I move my joints / back make loud clicking noises!).
Avatar n tn Wow!! I sure hope the truckers' insurance company will pay you for a life time of pain that seems to be inevitable for you!??? I do not know of anything for your pain other than some kind of intraveious med that can be worn and dispense the med that way. I do not even know what they are called so excuse my clumbness describing it. A lady I worked with many years ago wore one all the time, as she had also been in an auto accident. I hope others will come on soon to offer their advice.
Avatar f tn I experience weakness in the left leg as well as pain which varies between knee and ankle but is always present in the upper leg. Also experience low back pain with any movement. PT has been doing stretching and acupuncture as well as giving me at home exercises, and I am also taking lyrica. I'm on the fence about surgical intervention but I'm desperate to return to work. What would be the most successful treatment?
Avatar f tn I was also prescribed Lyrica awhile ago for pain which they thought was RSD. I found that after awhile it really messed with my memory along with the fact I put on 40lbs in less than 3 months. I was taking 150mg/daily, then twice that before I just stopped cold turkey.
Avatar n tn I was in a major vehicle accident 5 yrs ago that caused a lot of injuies--several surgeries on my leg and a knee that was crushed. I have lots of pain...have learned to live with it. I am waiting for a full knee replacement. (they built it up the best htey could.) We are holding off on the replacement for as long a spossible /dt my age (40) Anyway--I have had alot of strange symptoms..and have always blamed them on the accident. I am not so sure these days.
