I had a similar experience with Lyrica with the swelling in my hands and feet. Switched to Cymbalta which I have been on for years which helped both my fb and osteoarthritis. Ive recently had to add Hydrocarbon and muscle relaxer Tizanidine while also having radio frequency treatments with my pain management doctor. Still having some very bad days but hoping the radio frequency works. Oh, also getting cordon one injections periodically in most severe pain areas. Frustrated as this time as it seems to be gething worse as the years go by.

I agree, you need to see your dr. the swelling isnt right, I was on Lyrica and it did nothing for my pain, and caused me to gain 50 in 3 months , I find that Neurontin helps more than the other meds that I have tried

Dear Lyrica??drug name or are you the lady with the white dog???any how... If your hands and feet are swollen its probally a side effect from the meds.Call Your Doctor!!!!!!!! If need be ask about starting to cut back or taper off rose meds seems like a lot.But if (your feeling) uncomfortable / maybe you need to re-think your pharmcuctal choices. Good luck๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐ŸŒบ God bless
