Yup, I got you.  I wouldn't want to give up my Lyrica, either.  Sometimes wounds won't heal right and gosh can it do a number on tissues.  I'm sorry you have to use a chair.  If it's any consolation, I am from the Sixties era, and I saw a long-hair one day in the pharmacy in a chair, a vet wearing military shirt, the vehicle was a humdinger and I said so.  Later when I got in my car, I saw him sitting on the van lift like a porch, getting a smoke, and he was looking at the wind in the trees, and I never seen such a free man in all my life.  Maybe the methadone will make it easier to make a few steps here there and yon...I'd hate to use one in my house.

Well, the methadone ought to be enough to kill any pain.  But Lyrica is good for spasming, tho, and for some types of pain that drugs like methadone won't touch.  Mainly you will get sleepier, so if you tend to pass out a lot when you're taking them, talk to your prescribing doc about that.  You can take them at different times to offset it, perhaps.  Go to drugs.com and they'll tell you any warnings about using the two together.  I take an opiate and Lyrica at the same time, but I recall when I first used them together, I would get really sleepy for a couple weeks there.  But then I got used to it and don't have any problems for years now.
