neuropathic pain
"I recently had back surgery for spinal stenosis.  I was having leg pain and the pain in my leg was worse than before surgery.  After surgery I was also experiencing new pain of stabbing, electrical sensations in addition to the pain I previously had.  I was prescribed Neurontin and the doctor kept raising the dose with no difference in my pain.  I heard of similar experiences and being switched to Lyrica and it made a huge difference.  I was in so much pain day after day.  I switched to Lyrica and I have had nearly full relief of the pain I was having.  I can't even describe how much this medication has helped me.  If you find yourself in the same experience there is hope.  Keep communicating with your surgeon and try Lyrica."
