I took both those drugs and the side effects were terrible, especially the Lyrica. I tried acupuncture a few years ago and I felt no relief. I do get monthly massages and she concentrates on my feet and they feel so good for about a day. Sadly, we live in a society where we want to take a pill and feel better, so, I think that is part of my frustration. I know that the more I move, the better I feel. My greatest fear is falling though.
