Pain
"In late 2007 I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease with several herniated discs and was prescribed Lyrica 75 mg x 3 a day and after 3 or 4 days the pain was gone. Jan of 2008 I had Spinal Fusion Surgery on c6 c7 because the Herniated Disc had my spine squeezed down to smaller than a cigarette (7mm). After surgery and weaning off of Narcotics (hydrocodone) after about 6 months the pain came back worse than before.  Doctor wouldn&#039;t give me Lyrica again and eventually was taking 120mg Hydrocodone or more per day and still in pain and couldn&#039;t sleep. After switching to Pain Management Doc I began Lyrica again (225mg x 3 per day) Doesn&#039;t help as much as before but still much better. No side effects other than hard to concentrate."
