neuropathic pain
"The pain in my right thigh was almost unbearable.  It was all I thought of, day and night.  I only slept at most 2 hours at a time before the pain would awaken  me.  After a week on Lyrica (75mg twice a day), there was tremendous relief, but I still had pain.  Then I was put on 150 mg twice a day, and it was like a miracle.  The pain was totally gone in a few days.  I also take it for fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy.  But the meralgia paresthetica saw the most dramatic improvement. No noticeable side effects, except a little dizziness the first few mornings."
