Hello, Marie! How are you? I am very sorry that it's taken several posts for you to get an answer.

The Lyrica is the most likely culprit of the weight gain, it is well known to cause it as a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and mood swings.

As to the swelling, I'd have to say that is most likely from the Mobic, since nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories can cause the fluid retention that causes edema. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

The aching in your legs could be due to either one, or it might be entirely unrelated.

The best thing to do would be to see your doctor and inform them of the symptoms, you may need to switch to different medications.

Is there anything else I can help with?
