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
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.
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
