(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have had 2 knee replacement on the one leg and several operations after. I kept getting severe pain burning and taser gun like experiences is the only way to explain it. Had informed the dr but many ops later it is getting worse now a physio says I have severe nerve damage. Will lyrcia help I have just started this is my 3rd day now I take 1x75gms in the am and 1 x 75gms in the pm. I am just so tired of pain all the time. I just want to live life again

Hi Joey,

Sorry to hear about the pain you've been having to deal with. I think Lyrica can assist in temporarily helping you mask the knee pain, but over time you either have to keep increasing the dosage to get the same effects (until your completely dependent upon the medication), or after a couple months or so you can switch medications and opt for a more natural approach to pain management that won't come with the strange side effects of Rx Meds (such as: acupuncture, herbs, essential oils, cannabis, etc).

In conjunction with any of the above, I think regularly consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables can also help your body heal more rapidly.

I hope this helps!
