I had Lumbar discectomy L4-5 in july. I have b een taking Lyrica for by back for several months. Lyrica is also for nerve damage. I have been 3 days without it(300mg a day) and I must say it truley does help. everyones body is different though
I know Lyrica is a med for diabetes. It has just recently been accepted by the FDA for use with fibromyalgia. I've never heard of it being perscribed for anything else. I only researched it after it was approved for fibro. Good luck with your surgery.
my surgery is sept. 12, because ibuprofen thins the blood,I need to get off it at least a week early so they prescribed lyrica , it does help on the constant pain but not quit as good as ibuprofen did for me
