"i have 4 curves in my back.  several bulging discs, chronic pain, due to the discs, osteoporosis, lordosis and kyphosis, with spinal stenosis.  lyrica has been a miracle for me. i have been using a walker for 8 years.  yesterday i went across the street, came back to my house to get the garden hose, back across the street to water my neighbors plants, and lugged the hose back home.  suddenly i realized, i forgot my walker.  i completely forgot it.  i wake in the morning, pain free.  i am walking now without the walker, it has also improved my mood.  i used to cry a lot, because i could not do the &quot;normal&quot; things, people my age can do.  i am 50 years old, and have been on disability for 8 years.  i feel like a new person."
