Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?

My Neuropathy is not painful but holding me back from doing my PT exercises due to the heavy feeling now spread above my knees after starting in my toes in January 2022
Is LYRICA available without a Prescription? My Referral probably won't give it to me unless I deal with a Neuropathy Specialist. I'm done with Doctors and have been dealing with the Neuropathy through good diet and vitamin supplements such as B12, D3, etc.
Thank you for caring. I am still using wheelchair for some tasks but using a walker to get around my Home with the help of a few handicap aids. But the Neuropathy is slowing down my activity and I will be 88 in August.

In the United States, Lyrica is not available without a prescription. My primary care doctor does not want me to take it, however, my neurologist prescribed a low dose, 50mg, at night, and it helps me with my neuropathy. If I get a good nights sleep, I have a better day. I am 70 and I believe many doctors are very hesitant to prescribe certain meds to us « seniors ». A form of ageism, so to speak. I wish you the best!
