Pain
"Been suffering with low back pain worse in the buttocks and sometimes hips.  Numbness, tingling in both legs.  Underwent a laminotomy for spinal compression due to synovial cyst and facet joint disease.  Have a couple herniated discs, but left alone in surgery...felt I would recover from this on its own as I have very mild degenerative disc disease..  Since taking Lyrica for only 3 days at a low dose my pain has subsided enough so I could actually leave my home to go out to dinner.  Pain went from about &quot;10&quot; at its worst down to about a m &quot;2-3&quot;.   I would say try it as it may work for you. Side effects are less than gabapention."
