Good with the Bad!!! Mood
Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Frustrating story
Well it seems like for ever..I have been taking the wonder drug Lycria and i must say that it does work...But heed my warning i think it works to good..just after 1 week i felt great alot of energy no pain..It was like i had my body back....but to good to be true..i felt so good that i started to do my spring cleaning..had a painter come in to paint three rooms..well to make this short i helped move some furniture..and now i have a severe bulging disc in the L4-L5 area now i have to see a specialist..i did have the MRI done and the doc called today..says don't think therapy will work..and wants me to consider having surgery..i should of had it done 10yrs ago!!! But i am happy that the all over effects that lyrica has given me , I  will not stop taking it..i am just so happy that i am not in the pain as before..no real side affects from the drug..but just my own stupidy!!!

    Be careful of that back! Try everything you can before surgery. What about therapy of some kind? What dosage are you on with Lyrica? One side effect for it is weight gain. Have you had that problem?
