Hello, Steve! How are you? I am very sorry about your injury!

Lyrica is actually an anticonvulsant that can help with some types of never pain, due to the way it acts on the synapses in the brain. Thus, it doesn't work like a traditional analgesic, you will not get immediate relief, you have to take it for about 4 weeks, before you'll know whether or not it will work to help you.

Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, mood swings and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
