Thanks, @heyjoe415
I have never tried Lyrica but can ask my doctors. What type of doctor typically prescribes this medication? When I last saw my neurologist, he never suggested anything for my nerve pain after I told him I can’t take gabapentin due to it causing dizziness.
I’ve is a good option for joint swelling. My teenage sone dislocated his pinky finger and the joint is still swollen. I’ll tell him he should keep icing it (it is a couple of weeks since he first injured his finger).

@dlydailyhope I have I intercostal neuralsia after fracturing my T-7 last July. After almost four months of excruciating pain, my brother in law suggested that I had that. I asked my pain doctor and he confirmed it. A month later, still complaining and seeing the nurse practitioner, she prescribed me lyrica along with cymbalta. I did not know that that would help so much but my gabapentin wasn't working one bit. After taking it one day, I felt 60-70% better! So now I have been on it for 3 months, and because two a day of 150mg wasn't doing the complete job they increased it to 3 a day.. It helps, and I can a function *halfway" normal.. This morning, I was trying to research on how to get rid of it, and does it heal....Found out it may stay for a long time.. And i've noticed that due to the pain and the limited movement i can do, i've gained some weight.😢 i would highly suggest trying the lyrica/cymbalta for the nerve pain.. It truly has helped me.

@heyjoe415 sorry for all of the incorrect autocorrect. 😉
Will try ice and voltaren gel on son’s pinky finger. 🖐️🧊
