"this drug is better than nothing.  i wonder why it is used for severe pain.  it doesn&#039;t help stabbing nerve pain.  it helps back pain (herniated disks, arthritis, degenerative disk disease) a little.  not much help for neck pain either. i need lyrica for neuropathy and the two give some relief for fibromyalgia and arthritis (along with glucosamine).  my pain level remains disabling."
