Hi, all-
I started on Lyrica (75 mg 2 x a day) on the 3rd of this month. I had been on Gabapentin for 2 years but it seemed to quite working (I was up to 4800 mg a day!).
Anyway, I know that it takes a bit of time for Lyrica to kick in. It still isn't working yet for me.
A new symptom has started on me that is driving me absolutely batty. I am having a very hard time trying to explain it. It is in my hands and feet. The best way to describe it would be that I don't want ANYTHING to touch them. It doesn't hurt, just feels absolutely maddening.
Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Could it be from the Lyrica? Have I been on the Lyrica long enough to feel a change in my pain....even if it is just a little?
My pain: Both legs and my right arm feel like there is a vise grip on them squeezing tighter and tighter. I have had this for 5 years. My right arm pain changed to extreme burning in the arm and numb fingers in the middle of April.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Addi
