neuropathic pain
"I was having terrible pain with sciatica.  At times I was in so much pain just walking in a shopping centre I just had to stop.   Also driving the car my leg was in so much pain I had to lift it up with my hand to ease the pain.  No medication I had taken stopped the pain which was unbearable and I couldn't sleep at night, My Doctor prescribed Lyrica and at first I did not like it because it made my feet puffy however I went back on it with the prescribed dose of 150mg twice a day.  Now I have to try to recall the pain because I have no sciatic pain at all with this drug.   It also had the side effect of making me a bit "dreamy" which I rather like but I do forget names and things I am saying which I do not like.  Can't have it all though!"
